Subject: [PATCH V2] ppdev: Add an error check in register_device
Date: Sun,  7 Apr 2024 16:03:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240407080358.8635-1-qq810974084@gmail.com> (raw)

In register_device, the return value of ida_simple_get is unchecked, 
in witch ida_simple_get will use an invalid index value.

To address this issue, index should be checked after ida_simple_get. When
the index value is abnormal, a warning message should be printed, the port
should be dropped, and the value should be recorded, then jump to 'err'.

Fixes: 9a69645dde11 ("ppdev: fix registering same device name")

V2:
* In patch V2, we found that parport_find_number implicitly calls 
parport_get_port(). So when dealing with abnormal index values, we should
call parport_put_port() to throw away the reference to the port.
