Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: Free the minor number when cdev setup fails
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 16:48:32 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910074832.15729-1-tmddnr49449@gmail.com> (raw)
idxd_wq_add_cdev() allocates a minor number from cdev_ctx->minor_ida for
the new struct idxd_cdev. When dev_set_name() or cdev_device_add()
fails, the error path calls put_device(), and the release callback
idxd_cdev_dev_release() only frees idxd_cdev, so the minor number is
never returned to the ida. Leaked numbers accumulate across bind/unbind
cycles, up to MINORMASK, for as long as the module stays loaded.
Free the minor number before put_device() drops the last reference on
that path.
Fixes: c311f5e92484 ("dmaengine: idxd: Fix freeing the allocated ida too late")
