Subject: [PATCH] soc: dove: pmu: fix device_node refcount leaks in dove_init_pmu()
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 14:15:36 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610041536.2164285-1-geoffreyhe2@gmail.com> (raw)

dove_init_pmu() acquires two device_node references that are leaked on
several exit paths:

  - np_pmu, from of_find_compatible_node(): leaked on the !domains_node
    early return and on the !pmu allocation-failure return, both of which
    occur before the reference is handed to pmu->of_node. On the iomap
    failure path it has already been stored in pmu->of_node, so it must
    be released via that field before pmu is freed.

  - domains_node, from of_get_child_by_name(): used only as the iterator
    base of for_each_available_child_of_node(), which never drops the
    parent reference. It is leaked on the allocation-failure return, the
    iomap-failure return and, most commonly, on the normal success path.

The success path keeps np_pmu alive deliberately: it is stored in
pmu->of_node and the pmu structure persists for the lifetime of the
system, so np_pmu is not put there.

Release np_pmu on the two early error returns and via pmu->of_node on the
iomap-failure return, and release domains_node on every path once it is
no longer needed.

Found by static analysis tool CodeQL.
