In devm_pinctrl_register(), if pinctrl_enable() fails in pinctrl_register(), the "pctldev" has not been added to dev resources, so devm_pinctrl_dev_release() can not be called, it leads memory leak. And some driver calls pinctrl_register_and_init() which is not devm_ managed, it also leads memory leak if pinctrl_enable() fails. To fix this, introduce pinctrl_uninit_controller(), call it in the error path to free memory and replace pinctrl_register_and_init with devm_pinctrl_register_and_init. v1 -> v2: Check pinctrl_enable() return value in pcs_probe() in patch #2 Yang Yingliang (3): pinctrl: core: fix possible memory leak when pinctrl_enable() fails pinctrl: single: fix possible memory leak when pinctrl_enable() fails pinctrl: ti: ti-iodelay: fix possible memory leak when pinctrl_enable() fails drivers/pinctrl/core.c | 12 +++++++++++- drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-single.c | 7 ++++--- drivers/pinctrl/ti/pinctrl-ti-iodelay.c | 11 ++++++----- 3 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1
