[PATCH v2] mm/mmap: Fix memory leak in mmap_region()

From: Li Zetao
Date: Fri Oct 28 2022 - 02:51:29 EST


There is a memory leak reported by kmemleak:

unreferenced object 0xffff88817231ce40 (size 224):
comm "mount.cifs", pid 19308, jiffies 4295917571 (age 405.880s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

The root cause was traced to an error handing path in mmap_region()
when arch_validate_flags() or mas_preallocate() fails. In the shared
anonymous mapping sence, vma will be setuped and mapped with a new
shared anonymous file via shmem_zero_setup(). So in this case, the
file resource needs to be released.

Fix it by calling fput(vma->vm_file) and unmap_region() when
arch_validate_flags() or mas_preallocate() returns an error in
the shared anonymous mapping sence.

Fixes: d4af56c5c7c6 ("mm: start tracking VMAs with maple tree")
Fixes: c462ac288f2c ("mm: Introduce arch_validate_flags()")

v1 -> v2: Drop the new goto label, and jump to unmap_and_free_vma "if (vma->vm_file)"
