Subject: [PATCH v3] EDAC/ie31200: Fix error handling in ie31200_register_mci
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 16:47:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251106084735.35017-1-make24@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
ie31200_register_mci() calls device_initialize() for priv->dev
unconditionally. However, in the error path, put_device() is not
called, leading to an imbalance. Similarly, in the unload path,
put_device() is missing.
Although edac_mc_free() eventually frees the memory, it does not
release the device initialized by device_initialize(). For code
readability and proper pairing of device_initialize()/put_device(),
add put_device() calls in both error and unload paths.
Found by code review.

Changes in v3:
- moved put_device() from fail_free to fail_unmap to avoid using uninitialized priv variable when window allocation fails.
Changes in v2:
- modified the patch, thanks for developer's suggestions;
- removed Fixes line.
