From 12c9d70bd5056b3ae84746fca973c286f48384cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2016 16:57:57 -0800 Subject: mm: fix memory leak in copy_huge_pmd() We allocate a pgtable but do not attach it to anything if the PMD is in a DAX VMA, causing it to leak. We certainly try to not free pgtables associated with the huge zero page if the zero page is in a DAX VMA, so I think this is the right solution. This needs to be properly audited.
