Subject: [PATCH] media: msi2500: fix memory leak in msi2500_probe error path
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 01:57:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510015755.198274-1-daiky0325@gmail.com> (raw)

When video_register_device() fails in msi2500_probe(), the error path
jumps to err_unregister_v4l2_dev, which skips the call to
v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(). This leaks memory allocated by
v4l2_ctrl_handler_init() and v4l2_ctrl_add_handler().

Fix this by jumping to err_free_controls instead, which properly frees
the control handler before unregistering the v4l2 device.
