Subject: [PATCH] media: staging/ipu7: Fix pdata double free in init error paths
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 13:38:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430053820.446080-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
ipu7_bus_initialize_device() stores the caller allocated pdata pointer in
adev->pdata and installs ipu7_bus_release() as the device release callback.
After auxiliary_device_init() succeeds, pdata is released by
ipu7_bus_release().
The isys and psys init error paths still call kfree(pdata) after
put_device() or after ipu7_bus_add_device() fails. In both cases the
auxiliary device release callback has already been invoked, so pdata has
already been freed through adev->pdata.
Remove the duplicate kfree(pdata) calls. Also cache the MMU init error
before calling put_device(), since put_device() may release the auxiliary
device container.
This issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing.
