Subject: [PATCH 03/23] gpiolib: Fix resource leaks on errors in gpiochip_add_data_with_key()
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 08:10:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116081036.352286-4-tzungbi@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116081036.352286-1-tzungbi@kernel.org>

Since commit aab5c6f20023 ("gpio: set device type for GPIO chips"),
`gdev->dev.release` is unset.  As a result, the reference count to
`gdev->dev` isn't dropped on the error handling paths.

Drop the reference on errors.

Also reorder the instructions to make the intent more clear.  Now
gpiochip_add_data_with_key() roughly looks like:

   >>> Some memory allocation.  Go to ERR ZONE 1 on errors.
   >>> device_initialize().

   (gpiodev_release() takes over the responsibility for freeing the
    resources of `gdev->dev`.  The following error handling paths
    shouldn't go through ERR ZONE 1 again which leads to double free.)

   >>> Some initialization mainly on `gdev`.
   >>> The rest of initialization.  Go to ERR ZONE 2 on errors.
   >>> Chip registration success and exit.

   >>> ERR ZONE 2.  gpio_device_put() and exit.
   >>> ERR ZONE 1.
