[PATCH 4.19 059/116] spi: gpio: Dont leak SPI master in probe error path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 7174dc655ef0578877b0b4598e69619d2be28b4d upstream.

If the call to devm_spi_register_master() fails on probe of the GPIO SPI
driver, the spi_master struct is erroneously not freed:

After allocating the spi_master, its reference count is 1.  The driver
unconditionally decrements the reference count on unbind using a devm
action.  Before calling devm_spi_register_master(), the driver
unconditionally increments the reference count because on success,
that function will decrement the reference count on unbind.  However on
failure, devm_spi_register_master() does *not* decrement the reference
count, so the spi_master is leaked.

The issue was introduced by commits 8b797490b4db ("spi: gpio: Make sure
spi_master_put() is called in every error path") and 79567c1a321e ("spi:
gpio: Use devm_spi_register_master()"), which sought to plug leaks
introduced by 9b00bc7b901f ("spi: spi-gpio: Rewrite to use GPIO
descriptors") but missed this remaining leak.

The situation was later aggravated by commit d3b0ffa1d75d ("spi: gpio:
prevent memory leak in spi_gpio_probe"), which introduced a
use-after-free because it releases a reference on the spi_master if
devm_add_action_or_reset() fails even though the function already
does that.

Fix by switching over to the new devm_spi_alloc_master() helper.
