[PATCH] sched/ext: fix cpumask leak in scx_init() error path
From: KobaK
Date: Wed Apr 08 2026 - 13:25:07 EST
From: Koba Ko <kobak@xxxxxxxxxx>
In scx_init(), two cpumask allocations are combined with || short-circuit
evaluation. If the first alloc_cpumask_var (scx_bypass_lb_donee_cpumask)
succeeds but the second (scx_bypass_lb_resched_cpumask) fails, the first
cpumask is leaked.
Split the allocations into separate checks with per-allocation error
messages and free the first cpumask when the second allocation fails.
Fixes: 95d1df610cdc7 ("sched_ext: Implement load balancer for bypass mode")
