From 88ed2a60610974443335c924d7cb8e5dcf9dbdc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russ Gorby Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:45:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] n_gsm: memory leak in uplink error path Uplink (TX) network data will go through gsm_dlci_data_output_framed there is a bug where if memory allocation fails, the skb which has already been pulled off the list will be lost. In addition TX skbs were being processed in LIFO order Fixed the memory leak, and changed to FIFO order processing Signed-off-by: Russ Gorby Tested-by: Kappel, LaurentX Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Cc: Showjumping Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/tty/n_gsm.c | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/tty/n_gsm.c b/drivers/tty/n_gsm.c index a8c82f5d769b..3e210a430fb3 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/n_gsm.c +++ b/drivers/tty/n_gsm.c @@ -868,7 +868,7 @@ static int gsm_dlci_data_output_framed(struct gsm_mux *gsm, /* dlci->skb is locked by tx_lock */ if (dlci->skb == NULL) { - dlci->skb = skb_dequeue(&dlci->skb_list); + dlci->skb = skb_dequeue_tail(&dlci->skb_list); if (dlci->skb == NULL) return 0; first = 1; @@ -892,8 +892,11 @@ static int gsm_dlci_data_output_framed(struct gsm_mux *gsm, /* FIXME: need a timer or something to kick this so it can't get stuck with no work outstanding and no buffer free */ - if (msg == NULL) + if (msg == NULL) { + skb_queue_tail(&dlci->skb_list, dlci->skb); + dlci->skb = NULL; return -ENOMEM; + } dp = msg->data; if (dlci->adaption == 4) { /* Interruptible framed (Packetised Data) */
