From: Lukas Wunner lukas@wunner.de Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2020 09:17:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] spi: gpio: Don't leak SPI master in probe error path
If the call to devm_spi_register_master() fails on probe of the GPIO SPI driver, the spi_master struct is erroneously not freed:
After allocating the spi_master, its reference count is 1. The driver unconditionally decrements the reference count on unbind using a devm action. Before calling devm_spi_register_master(), the driver unconditionally increments the reference count because on success, that function will decrement the reference count on unbind. However on failure, devm_spi_register_master() does *not* decrement the reference count, so the spi_master is leaked.
The issue was introduced by commits 8b797490b4db ("spi: gpio: Make sure spi_master_put() is called in every error path") and 79567c1a321e ("spi: gpio: Use devm_spi_register_master()"), which sought to plug leaks introduced by 9b00bc7b901f ("spi: spi-gpio: Rewrite to use GPIO descriptors") but missed this remaining leak.
The situation was later aggravated by commit d3b0ffa1d75d ("spi: gpio: prevent memory leak in spi_gpio_probe"), which introduced a use-after-free because it releases a reference on the spi_master if devm_add_action_or_reset() fails even though the function already does that.
Fix by switching over to the new devm_spi_alloc_master() helper.

commit 7174dc655ef0578877b0b4598e69619d2be28b4d upstream.
If the calls to devm_kcalloc() or spi_gpio_request() fail on probe of the GPIO SPI driver, the spi_master struct is erroneously not freed because the required calls to spi_master_put() are missing.
Fix by switching over to the new devm_spi_alloc_master() helper.
