Subject: [PATCH] block/genhd: Fix memory leak in error path of __alloc_disk_node()
Date:   Wed, 27 Nov 2019 02:40:57 +0000
Message-Id: <20191127024057.5827-1-keitasuzuki.park@sslab.ics.keio.ac.jp>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

'disk->part_tbl' is malloced in disk_expand_part_tbl() and should be
freed before leaving from the error handling cases. However, current code
does not free this, causing a memory leak. Add disk_replace_part_tbl()
before freeing 'disk'.

I have tested this by randomly causing failures to the target code,
and verified on kmemleak that this memory leak does occur.
