Subject: [PATCH next] PM / devfreq: Fix double free in devfreq_event_add_edev()
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 13:29:50 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aMABnic3SVnYMvGc@stanley.mountain> (raw)
The put_device() function calls devfreq_event_release_edev() which frees
"evdev". Calling kfree() again is a double free.
Fixes: 430a1845c804 ("PM / devfreq: Fix memory leak in devfreq_event_add_edev()")
