Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management component, specifically within the mm/migrate_device module. When handling device page migration, a page table (pgtable) allocated during the migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page function may not be properly freed if a specific error condition occurs. This oversight can lead to a memory leak, potentially impacting system stability and performance over time.
