Subject: [PATCH net] gianfar: fix memory leak in gfar_parse_group error paths
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 19:19:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622021934.1415455-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In gfar_parse_group, if any allocation in the irqinfo[] loop fails,
or if of_iomap fails, or if the IRQ parsing fails, the already-
allocated irqinfo[] entries and mapped regs are not freed. The
caller's free_gfar_dev cannot clean them up because priv->num_grps
is only incremented after a successful return.
Fix by adding an err_out label that frees all successfully allocated
irqinfo entries and unmaps regs if mapped. Track the number of
allocated entries with 'allocated' and propagate the correct error
code.
Fixes: 46ceb60ca80fa ("gianfar: Add Multiple group Support")
