From bd62916b7a72c09fde12fcd0199906051fb9ed76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolfram Sang Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2023 11:19:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: fix memleak in i2c_new_client_device() [ Upstream commit 6af79f7fe748fe6a3c5c3a63d7f35981a82c2769 ] Yang Yingliang reported a memleak: === I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test: unreferenced object 0xffff888014aec078 (size 8): comm "xrun", pid 356, jiffies 4294910619 (age 16.332s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 31 2d 30 30 31 63 00 00 1-001c.. backtrace: [<00000000eb56c0a9>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0x1a6/0x300 [<000000000b220ea3>] kvasprintf+0xad/0x140 [<00000000b83203e5>] kvasprintf_const+0x62/0x190 [<000000002a5eab37>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x56/0x140 [<00000000300ac279>] dev_set_name+0xb0/0xe0 [<00000000b66ebd6f>] i2c_new_client_device+0x7e4/0x9a0 If device_register() returns error in i2c_new_client_device(), the name allocated by i2c_dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. === I think this solution is less intrusive and more robust than he originally proposed solutions, though.
