hulk inclusion category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IAOH1I -------------------------------- The function cifs_writedata_alloc() first allocates pages and then executes cifs_writedata_direct_alloc(). If the subsequent allocation of wdata fails, the previously allocated pages are not released, leading to a memory leak: hex dump (first 8 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ backtrace: [<00000000c2b9cca5>] cifs_write_from_iter.isra.0+0x103/0x730 [<0000000069a4b2e6>] cifs_user_writev+0x138/0x280 [<00000000bfdbeacd>] __vfs_write+0x12b/0x190 [<00000000460567cf>] vfs_write+0xac/0x1a0 [<00000000f92e5dfc>] ksys_write+0x43/0xb0 [<0000000094ddd57e>] do_syscall_64+0x63/0x220 [<0000000055ce26ff>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x5c/0xc1 [<00000000359223fa>] 0xffffffffffffffff This issue can be avoided by promptly using kvfree.
