Subject: [PATCH 3/5] i2c: ibm_iic: fix device_node refcount leak in iic_probe()/iic_remove()
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 02:12:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260815181204.2321-4-dragonliu2018@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260815181204.2321-1-dragonliu2018@gmail.com>
iic_probe() calls of_node_get() to take an extra reference on the
platform device's of_node when assigning it to the adapter device, but
neither the probe error path nor iic_remove() drops it.
device_release() does not call of_node_put() and i2c_adapter_dev_release()
only completes a struct, so the extra reference is never released, leaking
the device_node on every probe failure and every adapter removal.
Add the matching of_node_put() to the probe error cleanup (error_cleanup,
which covers the i2c_add_adapter() failure path; the earlier error paths
jump to the same label before of_node_get() runs, but dev is kzalloc'ed
so dev->adap.dev.of_node is NULL and of_node_put() is a no-op there) and
to iic_remove().
In iic_remove(), i2c_del_adapter() clears adap->dev with memset() at the
end (commit bd4bc3dbded9 ("i2c: Clear i2c_adapter.dev on adapter
removal")), which zeroes adap->dev.of_node before of_node_put() runs.
Cache the pointer before calling i2c_del_adapter(), the same approach
used in i2c-mux (i2c_mux_del_adapters) and mtd (commit 56570bdad5e3
("mtd: core: Fix refcount error in del_mtd_device()")).
Compile-tested with gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu on ppc44x defconfig; no
hardware available for runtime testing.
Fixes: 9fd049927ccb ("of/i2c: Generalize OF support")
