Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/2] media: vpif_capture: Fix i2c adapter reference leak in vpif_probe()
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 08:46:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110134623.1784694-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110134623.1784694-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Wentao Liang <vulab@iscas.ac.cn>
[ Upstream commit b00fbdad64d4ea7d594bc67988c1722fe5b3be50 ]
vpif_probe() takes a reference to the i2c adapter with
i2c_get_adapter() and passes it to v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board(),
which does not consume it, but the reference is never released, so
it is leaked both when the probe succeeds and when it fails after
the adapter has been acquired.
Release the reference with i2c_put_adapter() on the success path
and in the probe_subdev_out cleanup, and initialise i2c_adap so
that the cleanup is a no-op when the adapter was never acquired.
Fixes: 6ffefff5a9e7 ("V4L/DVB (12906c): V4L : vpif capture driver for DM6467")
