ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_fill_super
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.43 commit 01d349a481f0591230300a9171330136f9159bcd bugzilla: 109284 CVE: NA -------------------------------- commit afd09b61 upstream. Buffer head references must be released before calling kill_bdev(); otherwise the buffer head (and its page referenced by b_data) will not be freed by kill_bdev, and subsequently that bh will be leaked. If blocksizes differ, sb_set_blocksize() will kill current buffers and page cache by using kill_bdev(). And then super block will be reread again but using correct blocksize this time. sb_set_blocksize() didn't fully free superblock page and buffer head, and being busy, they were not freed and instead leaked. This can easily be reproduced by calling an infinite loop of: systemctl start <ext4_on_lvm>.mount, and systemctl stop <ext4_on_lvm>.mount ... since systemd creates a cgroup for each slice which it mounts, and the bh leak get amplified by a dying memory cgroup that also never gets freed, and memory consumption is much more easily noticed. Fixes: ce40733c ("ext4: Check for return value from sb_set_blocksize") Fixes: ac27a0ec ("ext4: initial copy of files from ext3") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210521075533.95732-1-amakhalov@vmware.comSigned-off-by: NAlexey Makhalov <amakhalov@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: NTheodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: NChen Jun <chenjun102@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: NZheng Zengkai <zhengzengkai@huawei.com>
