[PATCH v2] binder: fix memory leaks of spam and pending work

From: Carlos Llamas
Date: Fri Sep 22 2023 - 13:53:47 EST


A transaction complete work is allocated and queued for each
transaction. Under certain conditions the work->type might be marked as
BINDER_WORK_TRANSACTION_ONEWAY_SPAM_SUSPECT to notify userspace about
potential spamming threads or as BINDER_WORK_TRANSACTION_PENDING when
the target is currently frozen.

However, these work types are not being handled in binder_release_work()
so they will leak during a cleanup. This was reported by syzkaller with
the following kmemleak dump:

BUG: memory leak

Fix the leaks by kfreeing these work types in binder_release_work() and
handle them as a BINDER_WORK_TRANSACTION_COMPLETE cleanup.

suggested by Alice Ryhl. Add corresponding new tags.
