Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 4/5] i2c: core: fix NULL-deref on adapter registration failure
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 19:58:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721235844.523900-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721235844.523900-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 2295d2bb101faa663fbc45fadbb3fec45f107441 ]
If adapter registration ever fails the release callback would trigger a
NULL-pointer dereference as the completion struct has not been
initialised.
Note that before the offending commit this would instead have resulted
in a minor memory leak of the adapter name.
