Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] uacce: fix for cdev memory leak
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 21:50:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021135003.786588-2-huangchenghai2@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251021135003.786588-1-huangchenghai2@huawei.com>
From: Wenkai Lin <linwenkai6@hisilicon.com>
In uacce_register(), if cdev_device_add() fails, we should properly
decrease the reference count of the cdev kobject and set uacce->cdev
to NULL to avoid potential use-after-free or double free issues.
This change adds proper error handling after cdev_device_add() fails,
ensuring that kobject_put() is called and uacce->cdev is cleared.
Fixes: 015d239ac014 ("uacce: add uacce driver")
