Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: vme_user: fix location monitor leak in fake bridge
Date: Sat,  4 Jul 2026 14:58:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260704065817.403111-1-alvinhuang0603@gmail.com> (raw)

fake_init() allocates a location monitor resource and links it into
fake_bridge->lm_resources. The init error path frees this list, but
fake_exit() only frees the slave and master resource lists. Loading
and unloading the module therefore triggers a kmemleak warning:

  unreferenced object 0xffff8b8b82aebe40 (size 64):
    comm "init", pid 1, jiffies 4294894572
    backtrace (crc c1e013ef):
      kmemleak_alloc+0x4e/0x90
      __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x338/0x430
      0xffffffffc0602246
      do_one_initcall+0x4f/0x320
      do_init_module+0x68/0x270
      load_module+0x2a3b/0x2d90

Free the lm_resources list in fake_exit() as well, before fake_bridge
is freed.
