Subject: [PATCH v2] net: ethernet: renesas: rswitch: fix device_node refcount leak in rswitch_get_port_node()
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 00:34:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814190423.933-1-manushprajwal555@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Manush Prajwal <manushprajwal555@gmail.com>
On an of_property_read_u32() failure, rswitch_get_port_node() set port
to NULL and jumped to the out label before releasing the reference the
for_each_available_child_of_node() iterator was holding on it. Once
port was overwritten with NULL, that reference could never be
released since out: only put "ports", the parent node.
Rework the function around for_each_available_child_of_node_scoped()
instead of adding a manual of_node_put(), so the iterator's reference
is dropped automatically on every exit path. Since port is the
function's return value, take an explicit reference with of_node_get()
on the match before breaking out of the loop.

v2: Rework using for_each_available_child_of_node_scoped() instead of
a manual of_node_put(), per Andrew Lunn's review.
