Subject: [PATCH v2] media: pci: intel: ivsc: fix error handling in mei_ace driver
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 17:43:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250922094335.28486-1-make24@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
The mei_ace driver contains a device reference count leak in
mei_ace_setup_dev_link() where device_find_child_by_name() increases
the reference count of the found device but this reference is not
properly decreased in the success path. Add put_device() in
mei_ace_setup_dev_link() and delete put_device() in mei_ace_remove(),
which ensures that the reference count of the device is correctly
managed regardless of whether the probe is successful or fails.
Found by code review.
