Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 1/2] usb: gadget: f_hid: tidy error handling in hidg_alloc
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 15:46:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260605194620.2186017-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026060453-blazer-sublet-0c66@gregkh>
From: John Keeping <john@metanate.com>
[ Upstream commit 944fe915d00d3cb1bacb1e77cabfb6dc82e6f8b8 ]
Unify error handling at the end of the function, reducing the risk of
missing something on one of the error paths.
Moving the increment of opts->refcnt later means there is no need to
decrement it on the error path and is safe as this is guarded by
opts->lock which is held for this entire section.
