Subject: [PATCH] net: fs_enet: fix platform info memory leak on remove
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:14:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916031414.2875022-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
fs_enet_probe() allocates the platform information structure with
kzalloc_obj() and stores it in fep->fpi.
The probe failure paths release this allocation with kfree(). However,
after a successful probe, fs_enet_remove() tears down the network
device without freeing fep->fpi, leaving the platform information
structure allocated after driver removal.
Free fep->fpi before releasing the network device.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
Fixes: 976de6a8c304 ("fs_enet: Be an of_platform device when CONFIG_PPC_CPM_NEW_BINDING is set.")
