Subject: [PATCH v1 01/10] ACPI: fan: Fix memory leak due to leftover devm_kcalloc() argument
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:00:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <14089663.uLZWGnKmhe@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1965933.tdWV9SEqCh@rafael.j.wysocki>
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
An ACPI device object's dev field in passed as the first argument to
devm_kcalloc() in acpi_fan_get_fps() which is incorrect and leads to
a memory leak on driver probe errors and removal because the driver
is not bound to that ACPI device.
Address this by replacing that pointer with a pointer to the device the
driver is actually bound to.
While at it, drop a redundant error message after a memory allocation
failure (that also gets printed relative to the ACPI device).
Fixes: d91a1d129b63 ("ACPI: fan: Use platform device for devres-related actions")
