Subject: [PATCH v2] media: radio-keene: fix memory leak in error path
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251126063000.28493-1-ssranevjti@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Shaurya Rane <ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in>
Fix a memory leak in usb_keene_probe() when v4l2_device_register()
fails. The v4l2 control handler was initialized and controls were
added, but if v4l2_device_register() failed, the handler was never
freed, leaking the allocated memory for the handler buckets and
control structures.
Consolidate the error handling by adding an err_hdl label that
ensures v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() is called for all error paths
after the handler is initialized.
Reported-by: syzbot+a41b73dce23962a74c72@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a41b73dce23962a74c72
Fixes: 1bf20c3a0c61 ("[media] radio-keene: add a driver for the Keene FM Transmitter")

v2:
- Simplified fix: call v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() inline before goto
instead of adding a new error label, avoiding unused label warning
reported by Media CI.
