Subject: [PATCH v3] binderfs: free minor on binder-control creation failure
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 09:05:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_8D7B76C623DA3A29EE73D38217ACB08AFB09@qq.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <anoxsgc6ZbEOEOJO@google.com>
From: Chao Huang <huangchao@kylinos.cn>
Both binderfs_binder_ctl_create() implementations allocate a minor before
creating the binder-control dentry. If d_alloc_name() fails, the error path
frees the device and drops the inode, but leaves the minor allocated in
binderfs_minors. Repeated failures can therefore exhaust the global minor
IDA.
Release the minor from a dedicated error path after a successful allocation
in both implementations.
Signed-off-by: Chao Huang <huangchao@kylinos.cn>

Changes in v3:
- Use a dedicated out_with_minor error path instead of an -ENOSPC sentinel.
