Subject: [PATCH] drivers: Fix reference leak in altr_sysmgr_regmap_lookup_by_phandle()
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2025 22:23:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251025142352.25475-1-make24@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
altr_sysmgr_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() utilizes
driver_find_device_by_of_node() which internally calls
driver_find_device() to locate the matching device.
driver_find_device() increments the ref count of the found device by
calling get_device(), but altr_sysmgr_regmap_lookup_by_phandle() fails
to call put_device() to decrement the reference count before
returning. This results in a reference count leak of the device, which
may prevent the device from being properly released and cause a memory
leak.
Found by code review.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: cfba5de9b99f ("drivers: Introduce device lookup variants by of_node")
