commit 4965b8cd1bc1ffb017e5c58e622da82b55e49414 upstream.
vfree() is being called on paged buffer allocated
using alloc_page() and mapped using vmap().
Freeing of pages in vfree() relies on nr_pages of
struct vm_struct. vmap() does not update nr_pages.
It can lead to memory leaks.
Fixes: ddaf29fd9bb6 ("firmware: Free temporary page table after vmapping")

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.
