MIPS: pgalloc: fix memory leak caused by pgd_free()
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.110 commit fa3d44424579972cc7c4fac3d9cf227798ebdfa0 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I574AL Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=fa3d44424579972cc7c4fac3d9cf227798ebdfa0 -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 2bc5bab9 ] pgd page is freed by generic implementation pgd_free() since commit f9cb654c ("asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic pgd_free()"), however, there are scenarios that the system uses more than one page as the pgd table, in such cases the generic implementation pgd_free() won't be applicable anymore. For example, when PAGE_SIZE_4KB is enabled and MIPS_VA_BITS_48 is not enabled in a 64bit system, the macro "PGD_ORDER" will be set as "1", which will cause allocating two pages as the pgd table. Well, at the same time, the generic implementation pgd_free() just free one pgd page, which will result in the memory leak. The memory leak can be easily detected by executing shell command: "while true; do ls > /dev/null; grep MemFree /proc/meminfo; done" Fixes: f9cb654c ("asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic pgd_free()") Signed-off-by:Yaliang Wang <Yaliang.Wang@windriver.com> Signed-off-by:
