Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] platform/x86: toshiba_haps: Fix memory leaks in add/remove routines
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 16:44:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <10789244.nUPlyArG6x@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3026924.e9J7NaK4W3@rafael.j.wysocki>
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
toshiba_haps_add() leaks the haps object allocated by it if it returns
an error after allocating that object successfully.
toshiba_haps_remove() does not free the object pointed to by
toshiba_haps before clearing that pointer, so it becomes unreachable
allocated memory.
Address these memory leaks by freeing the memory in question as
appropriate.
Fixes: 23d0ba0c908a ("platform/x86: Toshiba HDD Active Protection Sensor")
