Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cdx: Fix double free when sysfs file creation fails
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 03:21:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320102117.1554548-1-ptsm@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320101933.1554416-1-ptsm@linux.microsoft.com>

In cdx_create_res_attr(), if sysfs_create_bin_file() fails, the code
frees res_attr but doesn't set cdx_dev->res_attr[num] to NULL. This
leaves a dangling pointer in the array. Then cdx_destroy_res_attr()
frees the already-freed memory. Fix the double free by initializing
cdx_dev->res_attr[num] after sysfs_create_bin_file() completes.

Fixes: aeda33ab8160 ("cdx: create sysfs bin files for cdx resources")
