In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix memory leak in ocfs2_mount_volume()
There is a memory leak reported by kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xffff88810cc65e60 (size 32):
comm "mount.ocfs2", pid 23753, jiffies 4302528942 (age 34735.105s)

This call stack is related to two problems. Firstly, the ocfs2 super uses
"replay_map" to trace online/offline slots, in order to recover offline
slots during recovery and mount. But when ocfs2_truncate_log_init()
returns an error in ocfs2_mount_volume(), the memory of "replay_map" will
not be freed in error handling path. Secondly, the memory of "replay_map"
will not be freed if d_make_root() returns an error in ocfs2_fill_super().
But the memory of "replay_map" will be freed normally when completing
recovery and mount in ocfs2_complete_mount_recovery().
Fix the first problem by adding error handling path to free "replay_map"
when ocfs2_truncate_log_init() fails. And fix the second problem by
calling ocfs2_free_replay_slots(osb) in the error handling path
"out_dismount". In addition, since ocfs2_free_replay_slots() is static,
it is necessary to remove its static attribute and declare it in header
file.
