If the key_size\nis 4, that means pptr is stored in a location which is 4 byte aligned but\nnot 8 byte aligned. In mm/kmemleak.c, scan_block() scans the memory based\non 8 byte stride, so it won't detect above pptr, hence reporting the memory\nleak.\n\nIn htab_map_alloc(), we already have\n\n        htab->elem_size = sizeof(struct htab_elem) +\n                          round_up(htab->map.key_size, 8);\n        if (percpu)\n                htab->elem_size += sizeof(void *);\n        else\n                htab->elem_size += round_up(htab->map.value_size, 8);\n\nSo storing pptr with 8-byte alignment won't cause any problem and can fix\nkmemleak too.\n\nThe issue can be reproduced with bpf selftest as well:\n  1. Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK config\n  2. Add a getchar() before skel destroy in test_hash_map() in prog_tests/for_each.c.\n     The purpose is to keep map available so kmemleak can be detected.\n  3. run './test_progs -t for_each/hash_map &' and a kmemleak should be reported."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["kernel/bpf/hashtab.c"],"versions":[{"version":"824bd0ce6c7c43a9e1e210abf124958e54d88342","lessThan":"c5f4b04e1838b9eec426d80500af49cff8631762","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"824bd0ce6c7c43a9e1e210abf124958e54d88342","lessThan":"25014e3dfa6d2fb95c920b9e6b2f0b303baa4533","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"824bd0ce6c7c43a9e1e210abf124958e54d88342","lessThan":"7758e308aeda1038aba1944f7302d34161b3effe","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"824bd0ce6c7c43a9e1e210abf124958e54d88342","lessThan":"1f1c29aa1934177349c17e3c32e68ec38a7a56df","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"824bd0ce6c7c43a9e1e210abf124958e54d88342","lessThan":"11ba7ce076e5903e7bdc1fd1498979c331b3c286","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["kernel/bpf/hashtab.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.6","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.6","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.191","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.160","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.26","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.14.5","lessThanOrEqual":"6.14.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.15","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.191"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.160"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.26"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.14.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.6","versionEndExcluding":"6.15"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c5f4b04e1838b9eec426d80500af49cff8631762"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/25014e3dfa6d2fb95c920b9e6b2f0b303baa4533"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7758e308aeda1038aba1944f7302d34161b3effe"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f1c29aa1934177349c17e3c32e68ec38a7a56df"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/11ba7ce076e5903e7bdc1fd1498979c331b3c286"}],"title":"bpf: Fix kmemleak warning for percpu hashmap","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2025-37807","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2026-11-05T20:41:03.182213Z"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2026-11-05T20:41:54.599Z"}}]}}
