Subject: [PATCH] ARM: imx: avic: fix device_node refcount leaks in mxc_init_irq()
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:31:15 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610053115.2263570-1-geoffreyhe2@gmail.com> (raw)
mxc_init_irq() obtains two device_node references via
of_find_compatible_node() and never releases either one:
- The "fsl,imx25-ccm" node (looked up to map the CCM low-power
interrupt mask registers on i.MX25) is stored in np, used by
of_iomap(), and then the same np variable is overwritten by the
second of_find_compatible_node() call without an of_node_put().
On i.MX25 this leaks the node reference on every boot.
- The "fsl,avic" node is passed via of_fwnode_handle(np) to
irq_domain_create_legacy(), which takes its own reference on the
fwnode through fwnode_handle_get(), so the caller's reference is
not transferred. np is then leaked at function return.
Both lookups predate the switch to irq_domain_create_*(); the missing
puts have been there since the code was introduced.
Drop each reference once the value derived from it is no longer needed:
after of_iomap() has mapped the CCM registers, and after
irq_domain_create_legacy() has taken its own fwnode reference.
of_node_put() is NULL-safe, so platforms without these nodes are
unaffected.
Found by static analysis tool CodeQL.
