[PATCH] of: overlay: fix memory leak in add_changeset_node()
From: Zeng Heng
Date: Fri Nov 18 2022 - 05:54:57 EST
In of_changeset_action(), we have called of_node_get() to increase
refcount of a node.
Therefore, when tchild (duplicated by __of_node_dup()) is done,
of_node_put() needs to call and release the device_node.
Otherwise, there are some memory leak reported about the node:
unreferenced object 0xffff88810cd1e800 (size 256):
backtrace:
kmalloc_trace
__of_node_dup
add_changeset_node (inlined)
build_changeset_next_level
unreferenced object 0xffff888113721240 (size 16):
backtrace:
__kmalloc_node_track_caller
kstrdup
__of_node_dup
add_changeset_node (inlined)
build_changeset_next_level
unreferenced object 0xffff88810a38d400 (size 128):
backtrace:
kmalloc_trace
__of_prop_dup
add_changeset_property
build_changeset_next_level
