Subject: [PATCH net 1/5] nfc: nci: free skb on nci_transceive early error paths
Date: Tue,  3 Mar 2026 08:23:41 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303162346.2071888-2-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303162346.2071888-1-kuba@kernel.org>

nci_transceive() takes ownership of the skb passed by the caller,
but the -EPROTO, -EINVAL, and -EBUSY error paths return without
freeing it.

Due to issues clearing NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE fixed by subsequent changes
the nci/nci_dev selftest hits the error path occasionally in NIPA,
and kmemleak detects leaks:

unreferenced object 0xff11000015ce6a40 (size 640):
  comm "nci_dev", pid 3954, jiffies 4295441246
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    6b 6b 6b 6b 00 a4 00 0c 02 e1 03 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b  kkkk.......kkkkk
    6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b  kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
  backtrace (crc 7c40cc2a):
