[PATCH] block/genhd: Fix memory leak in error path of __alloc_disk_node()

From: Keita Suzuki
Date: Tue Nov 26 2019 - 21:47:19 EST


'disk->part_tbl' is malloced in disk_expand_part_tbl() and should be
freed before leaving from the error handling cases. However, current code
does not free this, causing a memory leak. Add disk_replace_part_tbl()
before freeing 'disk'.

I have tested this by randomly causing failures to the target code,
and verified on kmemleak that this memory leak does occur.

unreferenced object 0xffff888006dad500 (size 64):
comm "systemd-udevd", pid 116, jiffies 4294895558 (age 121.716s)
