Subject: [PATCH 03/14] fbdev: metronomefb: fix potential memory leak in metronomefb_probe()
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 13:54:32 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514-fbdev-v1-3-b3a2474fa720@cse.iitm.ac.in> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514-fbdev-v1-0-b3a2474fa720@cse.iitm.ac.in>

The memory allocated for pagerefs in fb_deferred_io_init() is not freed
on the error path. Fix it by calling fb_deferred_io_cleanup().

Fixes: 56c134f7f1b5 ("fbdev: Track deferred-I/O pages in pageref struct")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
