[S390] Fix memory leak in /proc/cio_ignore
There is a memory leak in /proc/cio_ignore. The iterator is allocated in cio_ignore_proc_seq_start, but never freed in cio_ignore_proc_seq_stop, because we cannot use the iterator that was passed by seqfile. The seqfile interface passes the last seen iterator to the stop function and not the first one. Since our next function will return NULL at the end, the iter passed to cio_ignore_proc_seq_stop is NULL. The original iter has leaked. The solution is to use seq_open_private. Found with kmemleak: unreferenced object 0x1c720580 (size 32): comm "head", pid 973, jiffies 4294958302 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<0000000000203154>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x190/0x19c [<00000000003fb462>] cio_ignore_proc_seq_start+0x5e/0x128 [<0000000000231018>] seq_read+0xc8/0x4bc [<0000000000273954>] proc_reg_read+0xa8/0xf4 [<000000000020e3d8>] vfs_read+0xac/0x1a4 [<000000000020e5c6>] SyS_read+0x52/0xa8 [<000000000011836e>] sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 [<0000004690b7936c>] 0x4690b7936c Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
