Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/nouveau: Fix refcount leak in nouveau_connector_detect
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 12:03:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aOSRHjpaLTzeImD5@homelab> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aOPy5aCiRTqb9kjR@homelab>
A possible inconsistent refcount update has been identified in function
`nouveau_connector_detect`, which may cause a resource leak.
After calling `pm_runtime_get_*(dev->dev)`, the usage counter of `dev->dev`
gets increased. In case function `nvif_outp_edid_get` returns negative,
function `nouveau_connector_detect` returns without decreasing the usage
counter of `dev->dev`, causing a refcount inconsistency.
Signed-off-by: Shuhao Fu <sfual@cse.ust.hk>
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/450
Fixes: 0cd7e0718139 ("drm/nouveau/disp: add output method to fetch edid")
