Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.15 10/21] mfd: max77705: Fix wakeup source leaks on device unbind
Date: Fri,  6 Jun 2025 11:41:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250606154147.546388-10-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250606154147.546388-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlowski@linaro.org>

[ Upstream commit a59a56cc4fb1f7d101f7ce1f5396ceaa2e304b71 ]

Device can be unbound, so driver must also release memory for the wakeup
source.

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Code Change Analysis

The commit changes line 134 in `drivers/mfd/max77705.c` from:
```c
device_init_wakeup(dev, true);
```
to:
```c
ret = devm_device_init_wakeup(dev);
if (ret)
    return dev_err_probe(dev, ret, "Failed to init wakeup\n");
```

This is a classic **resource leak fix** pattern where the driver was
using `device_init_wakeup()` without proper cleanup on device unbind,
which causes memory leaks for the wakeup source.

## Backport Suitability Assessment

### 1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: ✅ YES
- This fixes a memory leak that occurs when devices are unbound from the
  driver
- The wakeup source memory is not released without proper cleanup
- This affects real user scenarios where devices can be unbound/rebound

### 2. **Small and Contained Change**: ✅ YES
- Only 3 lines changed: 1 deletion, 2 additions
- Single function modification in probe path
- No architectural changes whatsoever
- Extremely localized to wakeup source initialization

### 3. **Low Risk of Regression**: ✅ YES
- `devm_device_init_wakeup()` is a well-established managed resource
  pattern
- Same functionality as original but with automatic cleanup
- The change follows standard kernel resource management patterns
- No behavior change except proper cleanup

### 4. **Pattern Consistency**: ✅ YES
From the git history analysis, I found this is part of a systematic fix
series by Krzysztof Kozlowski addressing the same issue across multiple
subsystems:
- `gpio: mpc8xxx: Fix wakeup source leaks` - **marked with Cc:
  stable@vger.kernel.org**
- `gpio: zynq: Fix wakeup source leaks` - **marked with Cc:
  stable@vger.kernel.org**
- Similar fixes in iio, watchdog, mfd subsystems with identical patterns

### 5. **Critical Subsystem**: ✅ YES
- MFD (Multi-Function Device) drivers are core platform drivers
- MAX77705 is a PMIC (Power Management IC) used in mobile devices
- Resource leaks in power management components can lead to system
  instability

### 6. **Stable Tree Compatibility**: ✅ YES
- The `devm_device_init_wakeup()` function has been available since
  early kernel versions
- No new API dependencies
- The fix pattern is well-established and widely used

### 7. **Related Evidence**:
The companion commits in the same series (`gpio: mpc8xxx` and `gpio:
zynq`) were **explicitly tagged with `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org`**,
indicating the author and maintainers consider this class of fix
appropriate for stable backporting.

**Conclusion**: This is a textbook stable candidate - a small, safe
resource leak fix that addresses a real problem with minimal risk and
follows established patterns that have been deemed stable-worthy in the
same patch series.
