intel_th: fix MSC output device reference leak

2026-08-03T09:25:53+00:00

commit 761b785a0cfbce43761227bc42a7f984f31f8921 upstream. intel_th_output_open() looks up the output device with bus_find_device_by_devt(), which returns the device with a reference that must be dropped after use. commit 95fc36a234da ("intel_th: fix device leak on output open()") attempted to drop the reference from intel_th_output_release(). However, a successful open replaces file->f_op with the output driver file operations before returning, so close runs the output driver release callback instead. For MSC outputs, close runs intel_th_msc_release(), which only removes the per-file iterator and does not drop the device reference taken by intel_th_output_open(). Consequently, every successful MSC output open leaks one device reference. Drop the device reference from intel_th_msc_release(), which is the release path actually used for MSC output files. Remove the now-unused intel_th_output_release() callback from intel_th_output_fops.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

intel_th: fix device leak on output open()

2026-01-16T15:42:41+00:00

Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the th device during output device open() on errors and on close(). Note that a recent commit fixed the leak in a couple of open() error paths but not all of them, and the reference is still leaking on successful open().

intel_th: Fix error handling in intel_th_output_open

2025-11-26T14:10:03+00:00

intel_th_output_open() calls bus_find_device_by_devt() which internally increments the device reference count via get_device(), but this reference is not properly released in several error paths. When device driver is unavailable, file operations cannot be obtained, or the driver's open method fails, the function returns without calling put_device(), leading to a permanent device reference count leak. This prevents the device from being properly released and could cause resource exhaustion over time. Found by code review.

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type, move the intel_th_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.
