Subject: [PATCH v3] iio: trigger: Fix error handling in viio_trigger_alloc
Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2025 10:02:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251107020200.6285-1-make24@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
viio_trigger_alloc() initializes the device with device_initialize()
but uses kfree() directly in error paths, which bypasses the device's
release callback iio_trig_release(). This could lead to memory leaks
and inconsistent device state.
Additionally, the current error handling has the following issues:
1. Potential double-free of IRQ descriptors when kvasprintf() fails.
2. The release function may attempt to free negative subirq_base.
3. Missing mutex_destroy() in release function.
Fix these issues by:
1. Replacing kfree(trig) with put_device(&trig->dev) in error paths.
2. Removing the free_descs label and handling IRQ descriptor freeing
directly in the kvasprintf() error path.
3. Adding missing mutex_destroy().
Found by code review.
