[PATCH v2] xfrm: ipcomp: Update ipcomp_scratches with NULL if alloc fails
From: Khalid Masum
Date: Wed Aug 31 2022 - 10:30:18 EST
Currently if ipcomp_alloc_scratches() fails to allocate memory
ipcomp_scratches holds obsolete address. So when we try to free the
percpu scratches using ipcomp_free_scratches() it tries to vfree non
existent vm area. Described below:
static void * __percpu *ipcomp_alloc_scratches(void)
{
...
scratches = alloc_percpu(void *);
if (!scratches)
return NULL;
ipcomp_scratches does not know about this allocation failure.
Therefore holding the old obsolete address.
...
}
So when we free,
static void ipcomp_free_scratches(void)
{
...
scratches = ipcomp_scratches;
Receiving obsolete addresses from ipcomp_scratches
if (!scratches)
return;
for_each_possible_cpu(i)
vfree(*per_cpu_ptr(scratches, i));
Trying to free non existent page, causing warning.
...
}
Fix this breakage by updating ipcomp_scratches with NULL if
the above mentioned allocation fails.
