Subject: [PATCH net 6/7] can: mcba_usb: mcba_usb_read_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 20:55:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116200323.366877-7-mkl@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116200323.366877-1-mkl@pengutronix.de>
Fix similar memory leak as in commit 7352e1d5932a ("can: gs_usb:
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak").
In mcba_usb_probe() -> mcba_usb_start(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are
allocated, added to the priv->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the
complete callback mcba_usb_read_bulk_callback(), the URBs are processed and
resubmitted. In mcba_usb_close() -> mcba_urb_unlink() the URBs are freed by
calling usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&priv->rx_submitted).
However, this does not take into account that the USB framework unanchors
the URB before the complete function is called. This means that once an
in-URB has been completed, it is no longer anchored and is ultimately not
released in usb_kill_anchored_urbs().
Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the
mcba_usb_read_bulk_callback()to the priv->rx_submitted anchor.
