When submitting a command for userspace, input and output payload bounce
buffers are allocated. For a given command, both input and output
buffers may exist and so when allocation of the input buffer fails, the
output buffer must be freed too.
As far as I can tell, userspace can't easily exploit the leak to OOM a
machine unless the machine was already near OOM state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
