This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled can: m_can: Release irq on error in m_can_open to the 6.6-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: can-m_can-release-irq-on-error-in-m_can_open.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3e27a0a638f967a7387abb223db894698d6da6e2 Author: Simon Horman <horms@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Aug 5 15:01:58 2024 +0100 can: m_can: Release irq on error in m_can_open [ Upstream commit 06d4ef3056a7ac31be331281bb7a6302ef5a7f8a ] It appears that the irq requested in m_can_open() may be leaked if an error subsequently occurs: if m_can_start() fails. Address this by calling free_irq in the unwind path for such cases. Flagged by Smatch. Compile tested only.
