Hi all,
I ran into a small memory leak while working on the BPF selftests suite on the bpf-next tree. It leads to an oom-kill after thousands of iterations in the qemu environment provided by tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh.
To reproduce the issue from the net-next tree: $ git remote add bpf-next https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf $ git fetch bpf-next $ git cherry-pick 723f1b9ce332^..edb996fae276 $ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh -i -s "bash -c 'for i in {1..8192}; do ./test_progs -t xdp_veth_redirect; done'" [... coffee break ...] [ XXXX.YYYYYY] sh invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x440dc0(GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 [...] [ XXXX.YYYYYY] oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_NONE,nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0,global_oom,task_memcg=/,task=bash,pid=116,uid=0 [ XXXX.YYYYYY] Out of memory: Killed process 116 (bash) total-vm:6816kB, anon-rss:2816kB, file-rss:240kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:0 pgtables:48kB oom_score_adj:0
