[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 100/266] staging: gasket: Fix mapping refcnt leak when register/store fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e3436ce60cf5f5eaedda2b8c622f69feb97595e2 ]

gasket_sysfs_register_store() invokes get_mapping(), which returns a
reference of the specified gasket_sysfs_mapping object to "mapping" with
increased refcnt.

When gasket_sysfs_register_store() returns, local variable "mapping"
becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount
balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
gasket_sysfs_register_store(). When gasket_dev is NULL, the function
forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by get_mapping(), causing a
refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling put_mapping() when gasket_dev is NULL.
