livepatch: Fix kobject refcount bug on klp_init_patch_early failure path
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.17-rc1 commit 5ef3dd20 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4TF7T Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=5ef3dd20555e8e878ac390a71e658db5fd02845c -------------------------------- When enabling a klp patch with klp_enable_patch(), klp_init_patch_early() is invoked to initialize the kobjects for the patch itself, as well as the 'struct klp_object' and 'struct klp_func' objects that comprise it. However, there are some error paths in klp_enable_patch() where some kobjects may have been initialized with kobject_init(), but an error code is still returned due to e.g. a 'struct klp_object' having a NULL funcs pointer. In these paths, the initial reference of the kobject of the 'struct klp_patch' may never be released, along with one or more of its objects and their functions, as kobject_put() is not invoked on the cleanup path if klp_init_patch_early() returns an error code. For example, if an object entry such as the following were added to the sample livepatch module's klp patch, it would cause the vmlinux klp_object, and its klp_func which updates 'cmdline_proc_show', to never be released: static struct klp_object objs[] = { { /* name being NULL means vmlinux */ .funcs = funcs, }, { /* NULL funcs -- would cause reference leak */ .name = "kvm", }, { } }; Without this change, if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT is enabled, and the sample klp patch is loaded, the kobjects (the patch, the vmlinux 'struct klp_object', and its func) are observed as initialized, but never released, in the dmesg log output. With the change, these kobject references no longer fail to be released as the error case is properly handled before they are initialized. Since 81fd525cedd9 ("[Huawei] livepatch: Add klp_{register,unregister}_patch for stop_machine model"), klp_register_patch was born out of klp_enable_patch with similar issue, we also fix it in this patch.
