Subject: [PATCH v2] net: dsa: Fix error handling in dsa_port_parse_of
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 21:12:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251214131204.4684-1-make24@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
When of_find_net_device_by_node() successfully acquires a reference to
a network device but the subsequent call to dsa_port_parse_cpu()
fails, dsa_port_parse_of() returns without releasing the reference
count on the network device.
of_find_net_device_by_node() increments the reference count of the
returned structure, which should be balanced with a corresponding
put_device() when the reference is no longer needed.
Found by code review.
