Subject: [PATCH RESEND 1/3] HID: wacom: fix memory leak on kobject creation failure
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2025 19:49:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250606184959.35915-2-qasdev00@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250606184959.35915-1-qasdev00@gmail.com>
During wacom_initialize_remotes() a fifo buffer is allocated
with kfifo_alloc() and later a cleanup action is registered
during devm_add_action_or_reset() to clean it up.
However if the code fails to create a kobject and register it
with sysfs the code simply returns -ENOMEM before the cleanup
action is registered leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by ensuring the fifo is freed when the kobject creation
and registration process fails.
Fixes: 83e6b40e2de6 ("HID: wacom: EKR: have the wacom resources dynamically allocated")
