[PATCH 5.15-stable 2/3] PCI: Introduce cleanup helper for device reference counts

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

 



From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

commit ced085ef369af7a2b6da962ec2fbd01339f60693 upstream.

The "goto error" pattern is notorious for introducing subtle resource
leaks. Use the new cleanup.h helpers for PCI device reference counts.

Similar to the new put_device() cleanup helper, __free(put_device),
define the same for PCI devices, __free(pci_dev_put).  These helpers
eliminate the need for "goto free;" patterns. For example, a
'struct pci_dev *' instance declared as:

    struct pci_dev *pdev __free(pci_dev_put) = NULL;

...will automatically call pci_dev_put() if @pdev is non-NULL when @pdev
goes out of scope (automatic variable scope). If a function wants to
invoke pci_dev_put() on error, but return @pdev on success, it can do:

    return no_free_ptr(pdev);

...or:

    return_ptr(pdev);

For potential cleanup opportunity there are 587 open-coded calls to
pci_dev_put() in the kernel with 65 instances within 10 lines of a goto
statement with the CXL driver threatening to add another one.
