Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: mstar: fix device_node refcount leak in mstarv7_boot_secondary()
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:33:11 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610053312.2267307-2-geoffreyhe2@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610053312.2267307-1-geoffreyhe2@gmail.com>
of_find_compatible_node() returns a device_node with its refcount
incremented; the caller must drop it with of_node_put() when done.
mstarv7_boot_secondary() obtains the "mstar,smpctrl" node, maps it with
of_iomap() and never releases the reference, leaking it on both the
-ENODEV error path and the success path.
mstar SoCs do not support CPU hot-unplug (mstarv7_smp_ops provides no
.cpu_die), so this leaks one refcount on the smpctrl node once per boot
when the secondary CPU is brought up.
Drop the reference right after of_iomap(), since np is not used
afterwards.
Found by static analysis tool CodeQL.
Fixes: 5919eec0f092 ("ARM: mstar: SMP support")
