From 0718dc2a82c865ca75975acabaf984057f9fd488 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 03:06:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] slab: fix memory leak in alloc_kmemlist We have had this memory leak for a while now. The situation is complicated by the use of alloc_kmemlist() as a function to resize various caches by do_tune_cpucache(). What we do here is first of all make sure that we deallocate properly in the loop over all the nodes. If we are just resizing caches then we can simply return with -ENOMEM if an allocation fails. If the cache is new then we need to rollback and remove all earlier allocations. We detect that a cache is new by checking if the link to the global cache chain has been setup. This is a bit hackish .... (also fix up too overlong lines that I added in the last patch...)
