commit 94dbf7c0871f7ae6349ba4b0341ce8f5f98a071d upstream.
[BUG]
If btrfs_alloc_page_array() fail to allocate all pages but part of the
slots, then the partially allocated pages would be leaked in function
btrfs_submit_compressed_read().
[CAUSE]
As explicitly stated, if btrfs_alloc_page_array() returned -ENOMEM,
caller is responsible to free the partially allocated pages.
For the existing call sites, most of them are fine:
- btrfs_raid_bio::stripe_pages
Handled by free_raid_bio().
- extent_buffer::pages[]
Handled btrfs_release_extent_buffer_pages().
- scrub_stripe::pages[]
Handled by release_scrub_stripe().
But there is one exception in btrfs_submit_compressed_read(), if
btrfs_alloc_page_array() failed, we didn't cleanup the array and freed
the array pointer directly.
Initially there is still the error handling in commit dd137dd1f2d7
("btrfs: factor out allocating an array of pages"), but later in commit
544fe4a903ce ("btrfs: embed a btrfs_bio into struct compressed_bio"),
the error handling is removed, leading to the possible memory leak.
[FIX]
This patch would add back the error handling first, then to prevent such
situation from happening again, also
Make btrfs_alloc_page_array() to free the allocated pages as a extra
safety net, then we don't need to add the error handling to
btrfs_submit_compressed_read().
Fixes: 544fe4a903ce ("btrfs: embed a btrfs_bio into struct compressed_bio")

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.
