Subject: [PATCH v2] media: nxp: imx8-isi: fix memory leaks in probe error paths and remove
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 10:00:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260328100010.41236-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327222711.268132-1-devnexen@gmail.com>
mxc_isi_probe() allocates isi->pipes with kzalloc_objs() but never
frees it on any probe failure path or in mxc_isi_remove(), leaking the
allocation on every failed probe and every normal unbind.
Additionally, when mxc_isi_pipe_init() fails partway through the
channel loop or when mxc_isi_v4l2_init() fails, the already initialized
pipes are not cleaned up — their media entities and mutexes are leaked.
Fix both by adding kfree(isi->pipes) to all probe error paths and to
mxc_isi_remove(), and cleaning up already-initialized pipes in the
err_xbar error path.
Fixes: cf21f328fcaf ("media: nxp: Add i.MX8 ISI driver")
