Currently, sym_validate_range() duplicates the range string using xstrdup(), which is overwritten by a subsequent sym_calc_value() call. It results in a memory leak. Instead, only the pointer should be copied. Below is a test case, with a summary from Valgrind. [Test Kconfig] config FOO int "foo" range 10 20 [Test .config] CONFIG_FOO=0 [Before] LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 3 bytes in 1 blocks indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks still reachable: 17,465 bytes in 21 blocks suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks [After] LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks still reachable: 17,462 bytes in 20 blocks suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
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.
