From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If the initialization fails before tpm_chip_register(), put_device() will be not called, which causes release callback not to be called. This patch fixes the issue by adding put_device() to devres list of the parent device. Fixes: 313d21eeab ("tpm: device class for tpm") Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c index 45cc39a..ab32437 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c +++ b/drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c @@ -88,6 +88,7 @@ struct tpm_chip *tpmm_chip_alloc(struct device *dev, const struct tpm_class_ops *ops) { struct tpm_chip *chip; + int err; chip = kzalloc(sizeof(*chip), GFP_KERNEL); if (chip == NULL) @@ -136,6 +137,12 @@ struct tpm_chip *tpmm_chip_alloc(struct device *dev, chip->cdev.owner = chip->pdev->driver->owner; chip->cdev.kobj.parent = &chip->dev.kobj; + err = devm_add_action(dev, (void (*)(void *)) put_device, &chip->dev); + if (err) { + put_device(&chip->dev); + return ERR_PTR(err); + } + return chip; } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(tpmm_chip_alloc); @@ -171,7 +178,7 @@ static int tpm_dev_add_device(struct tpm_chip *chip) static void tpm_dev_del_device(struct tpm_chip *chip) { cdev_del(&chip->cdev); - device_unregister(&chip->dev); + device_del(&chip->dev); } static int tpm1_chip_register(struct tpm_chip *chip) -- 2.4.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
