From cf6f29bb2c18be0aaa54d85b5d58f6a9759bcbf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Oltean Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2021 16:43:31 +0300 Subject: net: dsa: destroy the phylink instance on any error in dsa_slave_phy_setup commit 6a52e73368038f47f6618623d75061dc263b26ae upstream. DSA supports connecting to a phy-handle, and has a fallback to a non-OF based method of connecting to an internal PHY on the switch's own MDIO bus, if no phy-handle and no fixed-link nodes were present. The -ENODEV error code from the first attempt (phylink_of_phy_connect) is what triggers the second attempt (phylink_connect_phy). However, when the first attempt returns a different error code than -ENODEV, this results in an unbalance of calls to phylink_create and phylink_destroy by the time we exit the function. The phylink instance has leaked. There are many other error codes that can be returned by phylink_of_phy_connect. For example, phylink_validate returns -EINVAL. So this is a practical issue too.
