If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8c1bc42c62aa0fe38d841e1a9883532103d86396 Author: Xiongfeng Wang <wangxiongfeng2@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 18 14:31:35 2022 +0800 perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix reference count leak in hswep_has_limit_sbox() [ Upstream commit 1ff9dd6e7071a561f803135c1d684b13c7a7d01d ] pci_get_device() will increase the reference count for the returned 'dev'. We need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count. Since 'dev' is only used in pci_read_config_dword(), let's add pci_dev_put() right after it.
