Subject: [PATCH] binderfs: free minor on binder-control creation failure
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 19:23:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_F96515DBF7548CE7B53D517CE7D204DF580A@qq.com> (raw)

From: Chao Huang <huangchao@kylinos.cn>

binderfs_binder_ctl_create() allocates 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.

Initialize minor to an invalid value and release it from the common error
path after a successful allocation.
