From: Weigang He Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2026 09:12:38 +0000 (+0000) Subject: of: fix reference count leak in of_alias_scan() X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=81122fba08fa3ccafab6ed272a5c6f2203923a7e;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git of: fix reference count leak in of_alias_scan() of_find_node_by_path() returns a device_node with its refcount incremented. When kstrtoint() fails or dt_alloc() fails, the function continues to the next iteration without calling of_node_put(), causing a reference count leak. Add of_node_put(np) before continue on both error paths to properly release the device_node reference.
