Subject: [PATCH] gpib: tnt4882: fix memory leak on probe failure
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 14:36:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260913063603.1443403-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)

ni_gpib_probe() allocates a local_info_t structure and stores it in
link->priv before calling ni_gpib_config().

If ni_gpib_config() fails, it calls ni_gpib_release(), which only
disables the PCMCIA device and does not free the local_info_t
structure. Since probe then returns an error, the remove callback is
not called and the allocation is leaked.

Handle the configuration failure in ni_gpib_probe() by freeing the
local_info_t structure and clearing link->priv before returning the
error.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
