From: Zeng Heng <zengheng4@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 86fdd15e10e404e70ecb2a3bff24d70356d42b36 upstream. When iio_device_register_sysfs_group() returns failed, iio_device_register_eventset() needs to free attrs array. Otherwise, kmemleak would scan & report memory leak as below: unreferenced object 0xffff88810a1cc3c0 (size 32): comm "100-i2c-vcnl302", pid 728, jiffies 4295052307 (age 156.027s) backtrace: __kmalloc+0x46/0x1b0 iio_device_register_eventset at drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c:541 __iio_device_register at drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c:1959 __devm_iio_device_register at drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c:2040 Fixes: 32f171724e5c ("iio: core: rework iio device group creation") Signed-off-by: Zeng Heng <zengheng4@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221115023712.3726854-1-zengheng4@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: <Stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c +++ b/drivers/iio/industrialio-event.c @@ -550,7 +550,7 @@ int iio_device_register_eventset(struct ret = iio_device_register_sysfs_group(indio_dev, &ev_int->group); if (ret) - goto error_free_setup_event_lines; + goto error_free_group_attrs; ev_int->ioctl_handler.ioctl = iio_event_ioctl; iio_device_ioctl_handler_register(&iio_dev_opaque->indio_dev, @@ -558,6 +558,8 @@ int iio_device_register_eventset(struct return 0; +error_free_group_attrs: + kfree(ev_int->group.attrs); error_free_setup_event_lines: iio_free_chan_devattr_list(&ev_int->dev_attr_list); kfree(ev_int);
