[ Upstream commit6aaa58c994] I noticed kmemleak report memory leak when run create/stop md in a loop, backtrace: [<000000001ca975e7>] mempool_create_node+0x86/0xd0 [<0000000095576bcd>] md_run+0x1057/0x1410 [md_mod] [<000000007b45c5fc>] do_md_run+0x15/0x130 [md_mod] [<000000001ede9ec0>] md_ioctl+0x1f49/0x25d0 [md_mod] [<000000004142cacf>] blkdev_ioctl+0x680/0xd00 The root cause is we alloc mddev->flush_pool and mddev->flush_bio_pool in md_run, but from do_md_stop will not call into md_stop but __md_stop, move the mempool_destroy to __md_stop fixes the problem for me. The bug was introduced in5a409b4f56, the fixes should go to 4.18+ Fixes:5a409b4f56("MD: fix lock contention for flush bios") Signed-off-by: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@profitbricks.com> Reviewed-by: Xiao Ni <xni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
