Subject: [PATCH v3] drivers/misc: Add NULL check in aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2025 23:40:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250331154002.14128-1-bsdhenrymartin@gmail.com> (raw)

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL if memory allocation fails. Currently,
aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop() does not check for this case, leading to a NULL
pointer dereference.

The corrected code adds error checking and optimizes resource release logic
to ensure no memory or kernel resources are leaked in case of failure.

Fixes: 3772e5da4454 ("drivers/misc: Aspeed LPC snoop output using misc chardev")
Signed-off-by: Henry Martin <bsdhenrymartin@gmail.com>
---
V2 -> V3: The enhanced code introduces proper error handling and
improves resource cleanup mechanisms to prevent memory or kernel
resource leaks during failure scenarios.
V1 -> V2: Removed blank line between tags.
