Subject: [PATCH v2] media: v4l2-core: Drop manual fwnode_handle_put() via scope-based cleanup
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 21:13:05 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616154305.54954-1-birenpandya@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616092516.46339-1-birenpandya@gmail.com>
v4l2_subdev_get_fwnode_pad_1_to_1() acquires a fwnode reference and drops
it via fwnode_handle_put() before calling device_match_fwnode(). This
requires manual lifecycle management.
Simplify the function by converting the local fwnode variable to use the
__free(fwnode_handle) scope-based cleanup macro.

Changes in v2:
- Updated the commit message to remove the "Use-After-Free" language,
as there is no vulnerability in practice.
- Adjusted the implementation to declare `struct fwnode_handle *fwnode`
directly at the point of initialization, rather than at the top of the
block, conforming to recommended usage.
- Renamed the patch subject to better reflect the true nature of the change.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260616092516.46339-1-birenpandya@gmail.com/
Hi Laurent,
My sincere apologies for the mailing list noise earlier. That duplicate
submission was an accidental misfire while I was adjusting my `git send-email`
scripts, and I deeply apologize for the lack of versioning and threading.
I am still getting up to speed with the subsystem's submission workflow!
Here is the correctly formatted v2 addressing Sakari's feedback.
