When the best clk is searched, we iterate over all possible clk. If we find a better match, the previous one, if any, needs to be freed. If a better match has already been found, we still need to free the new one, otherwise it leaks. Fixes: 5f5a7a5578c5 ("serial: samsung: switch to clkdev based clock lookup") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is speculative. Review with care. I think that some clk_put() are also missing somewhere else in the driver but won't be able to investigate further. --- drivers/tty/serial/samsung_tty.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/samsung_tty.c b/drivers/tty/serial/samsung_tty.c index dd751e7010e3..c07877dd25fa 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/samsung_tty.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/samsung_tty.c @@ -1488,10 +1488,18 @@ static unsigned int s3c24xx_serial_getclk(struct s3c24xx_uart_port *ourport, calc_deviation = -calc_deviation; if (calc_deviation < deviation) { + /* + * If we find a better clk, release the previous one, if + * any. + */ + if (!IS_ERR(*best_clk)) + clk_put(*best_clk); *best_clk = clk; best_quot = quot; *clk_num = cnt; deviation = calc_deviation; + } else { + clk_put(clk); } } -- 2.34.1
