[SCSI] Fix block queue and elevator memory leak in scsi_alloc_sdev
When looking at memory consumption issues I noticed quite a
lot of memory in the kmalloc-2048 bucket:
OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
6561 6471 98% 2.30K 243 27 15552K kmalloc-2048
Over 15MB. slub debug shows that cfq is responsible for almost
all of it:
# sort -nr /sys/kernel/slab/kmalloc-2048/alloc_calls
6402 .cfq_init_queue+0xec/0x460 age=43423/43564/43655 pid=1 cpus=4,11,13
In scsi_alloc_sdev we do scsi_alloc_queue but if slave_alloc
fails we don't free it with scsi_free_queue.
The patch below fixes the issue:
OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
135 72 53% 2.30K 5 27 320K kmalloc-2048
# cat /sys/kernel/slab/kmalloc-2048/alloc_calls
3 .cfq_init_queue+0xec/0x460 age=3811/3876/3925 pid=1 cpus=4,11,13
