Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau: fix nvkm_device leak on aperture removal failure
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 07:29:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260411062938.22925-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
When aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() fails during probe, the
error path returns directly without unwinding the nvkm_device that was
just allocated by nvkm_device_pci_new(). This leaks both the device
wrapper and the pci_enable_device() reference taken inside it.
Jump to the existing fail_nvkm label so nvkm_device_del() runs and
balances both. The leak was introduced when the intermediate
nvkm_device_del() between detection and aperture removal was dropped
in favor of creating the pci device once.
Fixes: c0bfe34330b5 ("drm/nouveau: create pci device once")
