Subject: [PATCH v2] USB: misc: uss720: unregister parport on probe failure
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 00:10:49 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706151049.63470-1-mhun512@gmail.com> (raw)
uss720_probe() registers a parport before reading the 1284 register used
to detect unsupported Belkin F5U002 adapters. If get_1284_register()
fails, the error path drops the driver private data and the USB device
reference, but leaves the parport device registered.
Leaving the port registered is more than a private allocation leak:
parport_register_port() has already reserved a parport number and
registered the parport bus device, while pp->private_data still points at
the private data that the common error path is about to release.
Undo the pre-announce registration in the get_1284_register() failure
branch before jumping to the common private-data cleanup path. Clear
priv->pp first, matching the disconnect path and avoiding a stale pointer
in the private data.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.

Changes in v2:
- Move the parport cleanup to the get_1284_register() failure branch,
as suggested by Alex.
- Clarify the visible stale registered-port effect.
