Linux kernel source tree
58b6e5e8f1
When mknod is used to create a block special file in hugetlbfs, it will
allocate an inode and kmalloc a 'struct resv_map' via resv_map_alloc().
inode->i_mapping->private_data will point the newly allocated resv_map.
However, when the device special file is opened bd_acquire() will set
inode->i_mapping to bd_inode->i_mapping. Thus the pointer to the
allocated resv_map is lost and the structure is leaked.
Programs to reproduce:
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev hugetlbfs
mknod hugetlbfs/dev b 0 0
exec 30<> hugetlbfs/dev
umount hugetlbfs/
resv_map structures are only needed for inodes which can have associated
page allocations. To fix the leak, only allocate resv_map for those
inodes which could possibly be associated with page allocations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
