Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Fix memory leak in mlx5_core_destroy_cq() error path Prior to this patch in case mlx5_core_destroy_cq() failed it returns without completing all destroy operations and that leads to memory leak. Instead, complete the destroy flow before return error. Also move mlx5_debug_cq_remove() to the beginning of mlx5_core_destroy_cq() to be symmetrical with mlx5_core_create_cq(). kmemleak complains on: unreferenced object 0xc000000038625100 (size 64): comm "ethtool", pid 28301, jiffies 4298062946 (age 785.380s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 60 01 48 94 00 00 00 c0 b8 05 34 c3 00 00 00 c0 `.H.......4..... 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 db 7d c1 00 00 00 c0 ..........}..... backtrace: [<000000009e8643cb>] add_res_tree+0xd0/0x270 [mlx5_core] [<00000000e7cb8e6c>] mlx5_debug_cq_add+0x5c/0xc0 [mlx5_core] [<000000002a12918f>] mlx5_core_create_cq+0x1d0/0x2d0 [mlx5_core] [<00000000cef0a696>] mlx5e_create_cq+0x210/0x3f0 [mlx5_core] [<000000009c642c26>] mlx5e_open_cq+0xb4/0x130 [mlx5_core] [<0000000058dfa578>] mlx5e_ptp_open+0x7f4/0xe10 [mlx5_core] [<0000000081839561>] mlx5e_open_channels+0x9cc/0x13e0 [mlx5_core] [<0000000009cf05d4>] mlx5e_switch_priv_channels+0xa4/0x230 [mlx5_core] [<0000000042bbedd8>] mlx5e_safe_switch_params+0x14c/0x300 [mlx5_core] [<0000000004bc9db8>] set_pflag_tx_port_ts+0x9c/0x160 [mlx5_core] [<00000000a0553443>] mlx5e_set_priv_flags+0xd0/0x1b0 [mlx5_core] [<00000000a8f3d84b>] ethnl_set_privflags+0x234/0x2d0 [<00000000fd27f27c>] genl_family_rcv_msg_doit+0x108/0x1d0 [<00000000f495e2bb>] genl_family_rcv_msg+0xe4/0x1f0 [<00000000646c5c2c>] genl_rcv_msg+0x78/0x120 [<00000000d53e384e>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x74/0x1a0

Antes de este parche, en caso de que mlx5_core_destroy_cq() fallara, regresa sin completar todas las operaciones de destrucci\u00f3n y eso conduce a una p\u00e9rdida de memoria. En su lugar, complete el flujo de destrucci\u00f3n antes de que se produzca el error de devoluci\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n mueva mlx5_debug_cq_remove() al principio de mlx5_core_destroy_cq() para que sea sim\u00e9trico con mlx5_core_create_cq(). kmemleak se queja de: objeto sin referencia 0xc000000038625100 (tama\u00f1o 64): comm \\\"ethtool\\\", pid 28301, jiffies 4298062946 (edad 785.380 s) volcado hexadecimal (primeros 32 bytes): 60 01 48 94 00 00 00 c0 b8 05 34 3 00 00 00 c0 `.H.......4..... 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 db 7d c1 00 00 00 c0 ..........}..... rastreo hacia atr\u00e1s : [\u0026lt;000000009e8643cb\u0026gt;] add_res_tree+0xd0/0x270 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;00000000e7cb8e6c\u0026gt;] mlx5_debug_cq_add+0x5c/0xc0 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;000000002a12918f\u0026gt;] 0x1d0/0x2d0 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;00000000cef0a696\u0026gt;] mlx5e_create_cq+0x210/0x3f0 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;000000009c642c26\u0026gt;] mlx5e_open_cq+0xb4/0x130 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;0000000058dfa578\u0026gt;] mlx5e_ptp_open+0x7f4/0xe10 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;0000000081839561\u0026gt;] 5e_open_channels+0x9cc/0x13e0 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;0000000009cf05d4\u0026gt;] mlx5e_switch_priv_channels+0xa4 /0x230 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;0000000042bbedd8\u0026gt;] mlx5e_safe_switch_params+0x14c/0x300 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;0000000004bc9db8\u0026gt;] set_pflag_tx_port_ts+0x9c/0x160 [mlx5_core [\u0026lt;00000000a] 0553443\u0026gt;] mlx5e_set_priv_flags+0xd0/0x1b0 [mlx5_core] [\u0026lt;00000000a8f3d84b\u0026gt;] etnl_set_privflags +0x234/0x2d0 [\u0026lt;00000000fd27f27c\u0026gt;] genl_family_rcv_msg_doit+0x108/0x1d0 [\u0026lt;00000000f495e2bb\u0026gt;] genl_family_rcv_msg+0xe4/0x1f0 [\u0026lt;00000000646c5c2c\u0026gt;] v_msg+0x78/0x120 [\u0026lt;00000000d53e384e\u0026gt;] netlink_rcv_skb+0x74/0x1a0\"}],\"metrics\":{},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4f7bddf8c5c01cac74373443b13a68e1c6723a94\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94b960b9deffc02fc0747afc01f72cc62ab099e3\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ed8aafea4fec9c654e63445236e0b505e27ed3a7\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4f7bddf8c5c01cac74373443b13a68e1c6723a94\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94b960b9deffc02fc0747afc01f72cc62ab099e3\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ed8aafea4fec9c654e63445236e0b505e27ed3a7\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\"}]}}"
