[PATCH 5/5] mm/execmem: use cleanup infrastructure in ROX cache functions

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-09-03 15:50:22
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - execmem, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Mike Rapoport, Linus Torvalds

After splitting out execmem_alloc_rox() from
execmem_cache_populate_alloc(), the error paths of both functions became
less complex and can be easily switched to use the cleanup infrastructure.

Use __free(vfree) to free allocated memory on the error paths and
guard(mutex) for synchronization in ROX cache functions.
