Hi,all: when reviewing code of function meson_ao_cec_probe: In Linux kernel version before v5.4, function meson_ao_cec_probe hold a notify reference by cec_notifier_get, when err happens, it will release notify twice by cec_notifier_put, does here exist a redundant put in error handling of cec_register_adapter return value? static int meson_ao_cec_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) { ao_cec->notify = cec_notifier_get(hdmi_dev); if (!ao_cec->notify) return -ENOMEM; if (ret) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "core clock set rate failed\n"); goto out_probe_clk; } device_reset_optional(&pdev->dev); ao_cec->pdev = pdev; platform_set_drvdata(pdev, ao_cec); ret = cec_register_adapter(ao_cec->adap, &pdev->dev); if (ret < 0) { cec_notifier_put(ao_cec->notify); // a redundant put here ? goto out_probe_clk; } ... out_probe_clk: clk_disable_unprepare(ao_cec->core); out_probe_adapter: cec_delete_adapter(ao_cec->adap); out_probe_notify: cec_notifier_put(ao_cec->notify); dev_err(&pdev->dev, "CEC controller registration failed\n"); return ret; }
