Subject[PATCH v4] xfrm: Update ipcomp_scratches with NULL when freed
Date
Currently if ipcomp_alloc_scratches() fails to allocate memory
ipcomp_scratches holds obsolete address. So when we try to free the
percpu scratches using ipcomp_free_scratches() it tries to vfree non
existent vm area. Described below:

static void * __percpu *ipcomp_alloc_scratches(void)
{
...
scratches = alloc_percpu(void *);
if (!scratches)
return NULL;
ipcomp_scratches does not know about this allocation failure.
Therefore holding the old obsolete address.
...
}

So when we free,

static void ipcomp_free_scratches(void)
{
...
scratches = ipcomp_scratches;
Assigning obsolete address from ipcomp_scratches

if (!scratches)
return;

for_each_possible_cpu(i)
vfree(*per_cpu_ptr(scratches, i));
Trying to free non existent page, causing warning: trying to vfree
existent vm area.
...
}

Fix this breakage by updating ipcomp_scrtches with NULL when scratches
is freed
