Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: jack: Fix control leak on jack allocation failure
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 10:19:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115101949.2483-1-sreekuttan2156239@gmail.com> (raw)

snd_jack_new() creates an ALSA jack control before allocating the
jack structure.

If the jack structure allocation fails, the function returns
-ENOMEM without removing the previously created control.

Remove the control using snd_ctl_remove() to release the control
and its private data before returning -ENOMEM.

Initialize the control list before removal so that the
private_free callback can safely remove the list entry.
