From: Guangshuo Li Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 02:45:35 +0000 (+0800) Subject: cpufreq: governor: fix double free in cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() error path X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc7~18^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6dcf9d0064ce2f3e3dfe5755f98b93abe6a98e1e;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git cpufreq: governor: fix double free in cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() error path When kobject_init_and_add() fails, cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() calls kobject_put(&dbs_data->attr_set.kobj). The kobject release callback cpufreq_dbs_data_release() calls gov->exit(dbs_data) and kfree(dbs_data), but the current error path then calls gov->exit(dbs_data) and kfree(dbs_data) again, causing a double free. Keep the direct kfree(dbs_data) for the gov->init() failure path, but after kobject_init_and_add() has been called, let kobject_put() handle the cleanup through cpufreq_dbs_data_release().
