From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@foxmail.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.96 commit d71b06aa995007eafd247626d0669b9364c42ad7 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I55NWB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit e629e7b525a179e29d53463d992bdee759c950fb upstream. kfree() is missing on an error path to free the memory allocated by kstrdup(): p = param = kstrdup(data->params[i], GFP_KERNEL); So it is better to free it via kfree(p).
