Subject: [PATCH] usb: dwc3: imx8mp: fix memory leak on probe failure path
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 21:49:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401134938.686748-1-xiaolei.wang@windriver.com> (raw)
When platform_get_drvdata() returns NULL and probe defers, the error
path jumps to the 'depopulate' label, skipping put_device() for the
reference acquired by of_find_device_by_node(). This extra reference
prevents the child platform device from being freed when
of_platform_depopulate() is called, resulting in memory leaks reported
by kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xffff0000c92c1480 (size 64):
comm "kworker/u16:2", pid 50, jiffies 4294895789
backtrace (crc 49d507d0):
kmemleak_alloc+0x34/0x40
__kmalloc_noprof+0x430/0x670
of_device_alloc+0xec/0x26c
of_platform_device_create_pdata+0x60/0x1f0
