Subject: [PATCH v2] usb: host: sl811_cs: fix memory leak on probe failure
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 10:03:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901020352.20252-1-min_halo@163.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <apWWnyGbVFJ8SbiG@archlinux>
From: Zongmin Zhou <zhouzongmin@kylinos.cn>
sl811_cs_probe() leaks the local_info_t allocated into link->priv when
sl811_cs_config() fails: the only kfree() lives in the remove callback
sl811_cs_detach(), which the PCMCIA core never calls for a device whose
probe failed.
Free the private data when sl811_cs_config() fails.
Fixes: 15b99ac17295 ("[PATCH] pcmcia: add return value to _config() functions")

Changes in v2:
- Fix the Fixes tag to 15b99ac17295, the commit that made
sl811_cs_config() failures observable as probe failures.
- Add Reviewed-by from Nikolay Kulikov.
