[PATCH 4.14 74/74] Revert "ipmi_si: fix memory leak on new_smi"
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Dec 27 2017 - 11:53:00 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Einar Reitan <john.einar@xxxxxxxxx>
This reverts commit c97e41076a298dbc4e910c33048e553658388eed, which
incorrectly was taken from upstream c0a32fe13cd323ca9420500b16fd69589c9ba91e.
The referenced memory leak doesn't exist on the 4.14 stable branch as
the new logic of doing the kzalloc hasn't moved to this function.
By adding this kfree we actually end up doing double kfree as all callers of
smi_add does a kfree on error.
Sample with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y:
ipmi_si: Adding ACPI-specified kcs state machine
IPMI System Interface driver.
ipmi_si: probing via SPMI
ipmi_si: SPMI: io 0xca2 regsize 1 spacing 1 irq 0
(NULL device *): SPMI-specified kcs state machine: duplicate
