This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nfc: s3fwrn5: Fix potential memory leak in s3fwrn5_nci_send() to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nfc-s3fwrn5-fix-potential-memory-leak-in-s3fwrn5_nci.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4ae78074e765ce9d195454317c245cd5e2dc1c14 Author: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 27 22:03:31 2022 +0800 nfc: s3fwrn5: Fix potential memory leak in s3fwrn5_nci_send() [ Upstream commit 3a146b7e3099dc7cf3114f627d9b79291e2d2203 ] s3fwrn5_nci_send() will call s3fwrn5_i2c_write() or s3fwrn82_uart_write(), and free the skb if write() failed. However, even if the write() run succeeds, the skb will not be freed in write(). As the result, the skb will memleak. s3fwrn5_nci_send() should also free the skb when write() succeeds.
