This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled firmware: raspberrypi: fix possible memory leak in rpi_firmware_probe() to the 5.15-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: firmware-raspberrypi-fix-possible-memory-leak-in-rpi.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6696165c7e441f92da0c971f49f0d2b815fc551a Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 17 15:06:36 2022 +0800 firmware: raspberrypi: fix possible memory leak in rpi_firmware_probe() [ Upstream commit 7b51161696e803fd5f9ad55b20a64c2df313f95c ] In rpi_firmware_probe(), if mbox_request_channel() fails, the 'fw' will not be freed through rpi_firmware_delete(), fix this leak by calling kfree() in the error path.
