Every predicate allocation includes a MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL (256) char array in the regex field, even if the predicate function does not use the field. A later commit will introduce a dynamically allocated cpumask to struct filter_pred, which will require a dedicated freeing function. Bite the bullet and make filter_pred.regex dynamically allocated. While at it, reorder the fields of filter_pred to fill in the byte holes. The struct now fits on a single cacheline. No change in behaviour intended. The kfree()'s were patched via Coccinelle: @@ struct filter_pred *pred; @@ -kfree(pred); +free_predicate(pred); Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230707172155.70873-2-vschneid@redhat.com Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider <vschneid@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.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.
