Subject: [PATCH] USB: sierra: Fix urb leak in sierra_submit_delayed_urbs()
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 16:53:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916165352.2085480-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

sierra_submit_delayed_urbs() takes a reference to each delayed urb
with usb_get_from_anchor() before submitting it. The submit failure
path releases the reference with usb_free_urb(), but on the success
path the reference is never dropped: the urb is only anchored in the
active list and the USB core unanchors it on completion, leaving the
reference returned by usb_get_from_anchor() dangling so the urb
object is never freed.

Drop the reference with usb_put_urb() after a successful submission,
matching the reference handling in sierra_write() and the sierra_close()
drain loop. Skip the rest of the loop body with continue on the error
path, which already frees the urb.

Fixes: e6929a9020ac ("USB: support for autosuspend in sierra while online")
