Subject: [PATCH] s390/vfio_ap: fix memory leak in vfio_ap device driver
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2023 11:39:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230315153932.165031-1-akrowiak@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

The device release callback function invoked to release the matrix device
uses the dev_get_drvdata(device *dev) function to retrieve the
pointer to the vfio_matrix_dev object in order to free its storage. The
problem is, this object is not stored as drvdata with the device; since the
kfree function will accept a NULL pointer, the memory for the
vfio_matrix_dev object is never freed.

Since the device being released is contained within the vfio_matrix_dev
object, the container_of macro will be used to retrieve its pointer.

Fixes: 1fde573413b5 ("s390: vfio-ap: base implementation of VFIO AP device driver")
