[PATCH v2] regulator: core: fix kobject release warning and memory leak in regulator_register()
From: Zeng Heng
Date: Wed Nov 16 2022 - 02:45:23 EST
Here is a warning report about lack of registered release()
from kobject lib:
Device '(null)' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 48430 at drivers/base/core.c:2332 device_release+0x104/0x120
Call Trace:
kobject_put+0xdc/0x180
put_device+0x1b/0x30
regulator_register+0x651/0x1170
devm_regulator_register+0x4f/0xb0
When regulator_register() returns fail and directly goto `clean` symbol,
rdev->dev has not registered release() function yet (which is registered
by regulator_class in the following), so rdev needs to be freed manually.
If rdev->dev.of_node is not NULL, which means the of_node has gotten by
regulator_of_get_init_data(), it needs to call of_node_put() to avoid
refcount leak.
Otherwise, only calling put_device() would lead memory leak of rdev
in further:
unreferenced object 0xffff88810d0b1000 (size 2048):
comm "107-i2c-rtq6752", pid 48430, jiffies 4342258431 (age 1341.780s)
backtrace:
kmalloc_trace+0x22/0x110
regulator_register+0x184/0x1170
devm_regulator_register+0x4f/0xb0
When regulator_register() returns fail and goto `wash` symbol,
rdev->dev has registered release() function, so directly call
put_device() to cleanup everything.
