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

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Hattori <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e3862093ee93fcfbdadcb7957f5f8974fffa806a ]

bcm_sf2_mdio_register() calls of_phy_find_device() and then
phy_device_remove() in a loop to remove existing PHY devices.
of_phy_find_device() eventually calls bus_find_device(), which calls
get_device() on the returned struct device * to increment the refcount.
The current implementation does not decrement the refcount, which causes
memory leak.

This commit adds the missing phy_device_free() call to decrement the
refcount via put_device() to balance the refcount.
