Subject: [STABLE v5.15-v5.10 1/6] HID: hid-steam: Fix cleanup in probe()
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 09:12:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013091215.529531-1-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>
[ Upstream commit a9f1da09c69f13ef471db8b22107a28042d230ca ]
There are a number of issues in this code. First of all if
steam_create_client_hid() fails then it leads to an error pointer
dereference when we call hid_destroy_device(steam->client_hdev).
Also there are a number of leaks. hid_hw_stop() is not called if
hid_hw_open() fails for example. And it doesn't call steam_unregister()
or hid_hw_close().
Fixes: 691ead124a0c ("HID: hid-steam: Clean up locking")

[Lee: Move client_hdev creation after steam_register() and omit

e133dc99fc07 are not present]
