The problem is that an # asynchronous call that holds a resource pointed to by call->reply[0] will # find the pointer cleared in the call destructor, thereby preventing the # resource from being cleaned up. # # In the case of the server record leak, the afs_fs_get_capabilities() # function in devel code sets up a call with reply[0] pointing at the server # record that should be altered when the result is obtained, but this was # being cleared before the destructor was called, so the put in the # destructor does nothing and the record is leaked. # # Commit f014ffb025c1 removed the additional ref obtained by # afs_install_server(), but the removal of this ref is actually used by the # garbage collector to mark a server record as being defunct after the record # has expired through lack of use. # # The offending clearance of call->reply[0] upon completion in # afs_process_async_call() has been there from the origin of the code, but # none of the asynchronous calls actually use that pointer currently, so it # should be safe to remove (note that synchronous calls don't involve this # function). # # Fix this by the following means: # # (1) Revert commit f014ffb025c1. # # (2) Remove the clearance of reply[0] from afs_process_async_call(). # # Without this, afs_manage_servers() will suffer an assertion failure if it # sees a server record that didn't get used because the usage count is not 1. # # Fixes: f014ffb025c1 ("afs: Fix afs_server struct leak") # Fixes: 08e0e7c82eea ("[AF_RXRPC]: Make the in-kernel AFS filesystem use AF_RXRPC.") # Signed-off-by: David Howells # Cc: stable # Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 f0a7d1883d9f78ae7bf15fc258bf9a2b20f35b76 # < make -s -j 80 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- defconfig # make -s -j 80 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- FIT description: Linux 4.19.0-rc8-gf0a7d1883d9f7 Created: Tue Oct 16 04:08:42 2018 Image 0 (kernel@0) Description: Linux 4.19.0-rc8-gf0a7d1883d9f7 Created: Tue Oct 16 04:08:42 2018 Type: Kernel Image Compression: gzip compressed Data Size: 4435029 Bytes = 4331.08 KiB = 4.23 MiB Architecture: MIPS OS: Linux Load Address: 0x80100000 Entry Point: 0x80842770 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 707547944f78f9614eeaec7fe58fc23d73a25890 Image 1 (fdt@boston) Description: img,boston Device Tree Created: Tue Oct 16 04:08:42 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 3668 Bytes = 3.58 KiB = 0.00 MiB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 569c37cc891ce1e1f3a193cb41cc691a5d2debb5 Image 2 (fdt@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 device tree Created: Tue Oct 16 04:08:42 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 1871 Bytes = 1.83 KiB = 0.00 MiB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 51b89b31605ee62038c8468c429af091dfc75ec7 Image 3 (fdt@xilfpga) Description: MIPSfpga (xilfpga) Device Tree Created: Tue Oct 16 04:08:42 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 2708 Bytes = 2.64 KiB = 0.00 MiB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 509ce58e44c561d54539e64e9d4b47054e696fc6 Default Configuration: 'conf@default' Configuration 0 (conf@default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 Configuration 1 (conf@boston) Description: Boston Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@boston Configuration 2 (conf@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 Linux Kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@ni169445 Configuration 3 (conf@xilfpga) Description: MIPSfpga Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@xilfpga Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc8 # Build took: 0:02:13.342395
