Summary

In the Linux kernel's remoteproc module for Qualcomm platforms, there is a memory leak when adding custom dump segments fails. The allocated minidump_region 'name' is not freed if the operation fails before adding the region to the list.

Risk Assessment

Memory leak can lead to gradual exhaustion of system resources, especially in environments with frequent dump operations.

Recommendation

Apply a kernel patch that frees the minidump_region name on failure and returns an error when adding to dump_segments fails.
