[PATCH 2/2] tmpfs: fix mempolicy object leaks

From: Greg Thelen
Date: Wed Feb 20 2013 - 02:12:13 EST


This patch fixes several mempolicy leaks in the tmpfs mount logic.
These leaks are slow - on the order of one object leaked per mount
attempt.

Leak 1 (umount doesn't free mpol allocated in mount):
while true; do
mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt
umount /mnt
done

Leak 2 (errors parsing remount options will leak mpol):
mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M nodev /mnt
while true; do
mount -o remount,mpol=interleave,size=x /mnt 2> /dev/null
done
umount /mnt

Leak 3 (multiple mpol per mount leak mpol):
while true; do
mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt
umount /mnt
done

This patch fixes all of the above. I could have broken the patch into
three pieces but is seemed easier to review as one.
