Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] ACPI: scan: Use acpi_dev_put() in object add error paths
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 11:46:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510154627.158558-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026050748-hypocrite-astonish-bb51@gregkh>

[ Upstream commit 9c0acc169ac71535477caedea8315f7041c5f07c ]

After acpi_init_device_object(), the lifetime of struct acpi_device is
managed by the driver core through reference counting.

Both acpi_add_power_resource() and acpi_add_single_object() call
acpi_init_device_object() and then invoke acpi_device_add(). If that
fails, their error paths call the release callback directly instead of
dropping the device reference through acpi_dev_put().

This bypasses the normal device lifetime rules and frees the object
without releasing the reference acquired by device_initialize(), which
may lead to a refcount leak.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.

Fix both error paths by using acpi_dev_put() and let the release
callback handle the final cleanup.

Fixes: 781d737c7466 ("ACPI: Drop power resources driver")
Fixes: 718fb0de8ff88 ("ACPI: fix NULL bug for HID/UID string")

[ preserved 5.10's `return result;` instead of upstream's `return NULL;` since the function returns int ]
