[PATCH v1] can: etas_es58x: es58x_rx_err_msg: fix memory leak in error path
From: Vincent Mailhol
Date: Tue Oct 26 2021 - 14:07:55 EST
In es58x_rx_err_msg(), if can->do_set_mode() fails, the function
directly returns without calling netif_rx(skb). This means that the
skb previously allocated by alloc_can_err_skb() is not freed. In other
terms, this is a memory leak.
This patch simply removes the return statement in the error branch and
let the function continue.
* Appendix: how the issue was found *
This issue was found using GCC's static analysis tool: -fanalyzer:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Static-Analyzer-Options.html
The step to reproduce are:
1. Install GCC 11.
2. Hack the kernel's Makefile to add the -fanalyzer flag (we leave
it as an exercise for the reader to figure out the details of how to
do so).
3. Decorate the function alloc_can_err_skb() with
__attribute__((__malloc__ (dealloc, netif_rx))). This step helps the
static analyzer to figure out the constructor/destructor pairs (not
something it can deduce by himself).
4. Compile.
The compiler then throws below warning:
| In function 'es58x_rx_err_msg':
| drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c:826:28: warning: leak of 'skb' [CWE-401] [-Wanalyzer-malloc-leak]
