Subject: [PATCH v3] soc: samsung: exynos-pmu: fix of_node refcount leak in exynos_get_pmu_regmap()
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:38:52 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609143852.1783558-1-geoffreyhe2@gmail.com> (raw)

exynos_get_pmu_regmap() obtains a device_node via of_find_matching_node()
and passes it to exynos_get_pmu_regmap_by_phandle(np, NULL). With
propname == NULL the callee uses np directly and does not drop a
reference, so the reference taken by of_find_matching_node() is leaked on
every call -- including on each -EPROBE_DEFER retry of the only in-tree
caller, exynos_retention_init() in the Exynos pinctrl driver.

Annotate np with the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute so the
reference is released when the function returns.

Found by static analysis tool CodeQL.

Changes in v3:
 - Only annotate the np declaration with __free(device_node); leave the
   rest of the function body unchanged (Krzysztof Kozlowski).

Changes in v2:
 - Use the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute instead of an explicit
   of_node_put() and the helper refactor (Krzysztof Kozlowski); dropped
   the former patch 2/2.
