Subject: BUG: bisected: thermald regression (MEMLEAK) in commit c7ff29763989bd09c433f73fae3c1e1c15d9cda4

Dear all,

Around Sep 27th 2022 I've noticed in a mainline kernel built with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y
that there actually is a leak:

Subject: Re: BUG: bisected: thermald regression (MEMLEAK) in commit c7ff29763989bd09c433f73fae3c1e1c15d9cda4

Hi all,

[Due to unexplained garbling of the text; will try to submit the bug
report again.]

There was a bug discovered in 6.0-rc3..rc7 kernels on Sep 27th 2022.

There was a kernel memory leak in thermald, disovered with a mainline
build with
CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK=y.

sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xffff8881095f3ee0 (size 80):

Mr. Pandruvada request a bisection on the bug, so I eventually made one.

The culprit seems to be the following commit (but I am unable to discern
the bug):

This will say this patch as this patch is calling acpi_run_osc in
response to thermald calls for the first time.

But looking at code, this is freeing the memory allocated by
acpi_run_osc() call chain as any other caller.

status = acpi_run_osc(handle, &context);
if (ACPI_SUCCESS(status)) {
ret = *((u32 *)(context.ret.pointer + 4));
if (ret != *enable)
result = -EPERM;

kfree(context.ret.pointer);
} else
result = -EPERM;

There is no kfree when call failed as at other places.
I think you are failing, you can search for "_OSC" in dmesg.
On some Dell systems this OSC setting fails because of some BIOS issue.
May be you are hitting that case.
Just for the sake of test, please apply the diff and see if the issue
is gone.

Thanks,
Srinivas

Thank you for the patch. Unfortunately, when applied to v6.0.3 it didn't
fix the issue.

I think your patch definitively makes sense, but there's more to this
than meets the eye :-/

Hope this helps.

Seems like a prudent thing to do. It must be heavy to provide support
for all of the
hardware on the market ...

Maybe this will help (however, this dmesg -l err was the same in "git
bisect good" and "git bisect bad" kernels!):

[Note: this mail is primarily send for documentation purposes and/or for
regzbot, my Linux kernel regression tracking bot. That's why I removed
most or all folks from the list of recipients, but left any that looked
like a mailing lists. These mails usually contain '#forregzbot' in the

[TLDR: I'm adding this regression report to the list of tracked
regressions; all text from me you find below is based on a few templates
paragraphs you might have encountered already already in similar form.]

Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.

Thanks for the report. To be sure below issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, my Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced c7ff29763989bd
#regzbot title thermald regression (MEMLEAK)
#regzbot ignore-activity

This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply -- ideally with also
telling regzbot about it, as explained here:
https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/tracked-regression/

Reminder for developers: When fixing the issue, add 'Link:' tags
pointing to the report (the mail this one replies to), as explained for
in the Linux kernel's documentation; above webpage explains why this is
important for tracked regressions.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.

You're welcome, no thanks needed.

Is this really a regression? I can't tell if this is a one-time memory
leak in thermald, or can it be
exploited for causing memory leaks in a loop, exhausting kernel memory
and producing denial-of-service
or kernel crash.

Thanks,
Mirsad

I have worse news: after every

# systemctl stop thermald
# systemctl start thermald

the number of leaks increases by one allocated block (apparently 80
bytes). The effect appears to be
cummulative.

Please find the results of the MEMLEAK scan in the attachment.

In theory, motivated adversary could theoretically exhaust  i.e. 8 GiB
in a loop of 10 million thermald stops/starts,
on my laptop and 2 sec for stop+start, it would be approx. 230 days.

Hope this helps.

Mirsad

Of course it needs to be debugged. To start/stop systemctl service you
need root access. If you have root access, there are other worse things
can be done.

Indeed.

About fixing the bug, I tried to look at the source, but indeed it is
above my means.
I don't have exactly experience in debugging kernel drivers.

However, I've noticed something else.

A command:

for a in {1..100}; do
    echo $a
    systemctl stop thermald
    sleep 1
    systemctl start thermald
    sleep 1
done

... it produces 180 memory leaks, attached in the attachment 1.
Apparetnly, most of the processes
created 2 leaks.

This is different from the test of loop of 1000 iterations, but without
sleep command, which
created only a handful of memleaks.

Sounds like a racing condition, rather than a deterministic bug.

It happens with the bisect done on Lenovo Ideapad 3 | Intel Core i5 |
Ubuntu 22.04. Output of lshw
might be useful, so I have attached it as attachment 2.

This came as I was driving my bike home, but other than this I ran out
of ideas how to help you in
debugging.

Thanks.

P.S.

Forgot another useful thing you've mentioned: please find attached the
dmesg output.

Good luck!

#regzbot inconclusive: likely wasn't a regression
