Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: Fix error handling in dsa_port_parse_of
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:51:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121035130.16020-1-make24@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

When of_find_net_device_by_node() successfully acquires a reference to
a network device but the subsequent call to dsa_port_parse_cpu()
fails, dsa_port_parse_of() returns without releasing the reference
count on the network device.

of_find_net_device_by_node() increments the reference count of the
returned structure, which should be balanced with a corresponding
put_device() when the reference is no longer needed.

Found by code review.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 6ca80638b90c ("net: dsa: Use conduit and user terms")
