Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
powerpc/xive: fix kmemleak caused by incorrect chip_data lookup<br />
<br />
The kmemleak reports the following memory leak:<br />

<br />
This occurs when allocating MSI-X vectors for an NVMe device. During<br />
allocation the XIVE code creates a struct xive_irq_data and stores it<br />
in irq_data->chip_data.<br />
<br />
When the MSI-X irqdomain is later freed, xive_irq_free_data() is<br />
responsible for retrieving this structure and freeing it. However,<br />
after commit cc0cc23babc9 ("powerpc/xive: Untangle xive from child<br />
interrupt controller drivers"), xive_irq_free_data() retrieves the<br />
chip_data using irq_get_chip_data(), which looks up the data through<br />
the child domain.<br />
<br />
This is incorrect because the XIVE-specific irq data is associated with<br />
the XIVE (parent) domain. As a result the lookup fails and the allocated<br />
struct xive_irq_data is never freed, leading to the kmemleak report<br />
shown above.<br />
<br />
Fix this by retrieving the irq_data from the correct domain using<br />
irq_domain_get_irq_data() and then accessing the chip_data via<br />
irq_data_get_irq_chip_data().
