Subject: [PATCH v2] i3c: dw: Fix memory leak in dw_i3c_master_i3c_xfers()
Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2026 23:14:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402-dw-i3c-2-v2-1-aa6c81d392da@gmail.com> (raw)
The dw_i3c_master_i3c_xfers() function allocates memory for the xfer
structure using dw_i3c_master_alloc_xfer(). If pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
fails, the function returns without freeing the allocated xfer, resulting
in a memory leak.
Use the __free(kfree) cleanup attribute to automatically free the memory
when the variable goes out of scope.
Fixes: 62fe9d06f570 ("i3c: dw: Add power management support")
Signed-off-by: Felix Gu <ustc.gu@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Switch to use __free(kfree) to automatically free the memory.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260402-dw-i3c-2-v1-1-b530970654ec@gmail.com
