Subject: [PATCH] ARM: alpine: fix device_node refcount leak in alpine_cpu_pm_init()
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 14:23:32 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926042332.1633698-1-geoffreyhe2@gmail.com> (raw)
of_find_compatible_node() returns the matching device_node with its
refcount incremented; the caller must drop it with of_node_put().
alpine_cpu_pm_init() obtains the "al,alpine-cpu-resume" node, maps it
with of_iomap() and never releases the reference. The function is
__init and runs once, so this is a one-shot leak of a single refcount
during boot, with no functional impact.
Drop the reference after of_iomap(), which does not retain it; np is
not used afterwards.
Found by static analysis tool CodeQL.
Fixes: e9e06f2853dd ("ARM: Alpine: smp support")

Notes:
Compile-tested only (ARCH=arm multi_v7_defconfig, W=1). Not tested on
hardware; I have no Alpine board.
The CodeQL query behind this report was synthesized with LLM assistance,
and the fix and changelog were drafted with LLM assistance; I have
reviewed them.
