Commit Message

  When retriving a item string with tlmi_setting(), the result has to be
freed using kfree(). In current_value_show() however, malformed
item strings are not freed, causing a memory leak.
Fix this by eliminating the early return responsible for this.

Thanks for doing this - it was on my todo list but you beat me to it.

As a minor note - the Fixes tag should, I think, be
Fixes: 0fdf10e5fc96 ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Split current_value to reflect only the value")

As that's when I believe I introduced the issue.

Hi, Armin,

You might have wanted it to be tested in the original setting?

Should this patch work as a standalone fix, without the others?

This part:

If Mark had found a better fix, then that one goes away, too.

NOTE PLEASE that in the above-mentioned message (like all the others) I just specified the
commit at which the test kernel was built + all the applied patches (git diff did not give
authors).

This did not imply that I claim Mr. Weißschuh's fix for tlmi_analyze() return, God forbid!
I apologise if I made room for such an impression.

That's all, I think. Thank Heavens. God bless!

I will assume the test build on the bottom patch + the Thomas's patch still apply + your patch.

Best regards,
Mirsad

I can confirm that the test passed in the original environment that caused the kmemleak.

NOTE: The leaks here belong to drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c leak for which I have
proposed a fix in message <df560535-2a8e-de21-d45d-805159d70954@alu.unizg.hr>.

This test was built on the 6.3-rc4+ commit fcd476ea6a88 Torvalds tree + the following
patches (Armin's, and Thomas's).

Xhci patch from Mathias is included because it is well tested and already submitted and acked.

At your convenience and according to the Code of Conduct, you can add:

Tested-by: Mirsad Goran Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@alu.unizg.hr>

Otherwise, Armin, I think you should submit this patch rightly because all idea to search in
think-lmi.c was yours.

Bisect was also much faster and in fewer steps.

Thanks,
Mirsad

That's awesome, Armin.

I thought of a way to make an exact account of which patches were used in the build,}}}
i.e. adding patch checksum to 6.3.0-rc4-00034-gfcd476ea6a88-dirty, for currently in
rpm -ivh --oldpacage install the kernels

kernel-6.3.0_rc4mt+20230330_00051_g8bb95a1662f8_dirty-24.x86_64.rpm
kernel-6.3.0_rc4mt+20230330_00051_g8bb95a1662f8_dirty-25.x86_64.rpm
kernel-6.3.0_rc4mt+20230330_00051_g8bb95a1662f8_dirty-26.x86_64.rpm

all interlap, so I have to reboot in i.e. 6.1.15, remove the offending kernel, and
then CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y rpm build script should add something that rpm
command sees in the install process so the files do not overlap (kernel numbes
being truncated at '-' sign).

See what I mean?

Optionally, a /proc/<applied-patches-to-build> or something like that could be
added to the running kernel, much like i.e. TuxCare has kcarectl --patch-info
for live patches?

Tell me pls if I speak rubbish.

Regards,
Mirsad
