[PATCH v2] uio: fix IRQ vector leak on probe failure and remove

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Sun May 24 2026 - 02:42:26 EST


probe() allocates MSI/MSI-X vectors with pci_alloc_irq_vectors(), but
neither the error path nor remove() releases them with
pci_free_irq_vectors().

Unlike drivers using pcim_enable_device(), this driver uses
pci_enable_device(), so the IRQ vectors are not managed automatically
and must be freed explicitly.

Add pci_free_irq_vectors() to the probe error path after successful
vector allocation and to remove(). The issue was identified by a
static analysis tool I developed.

Fixes: 3397c3cd859a ("uio: Add SVA support for PCI devices via uio_pci_generic_sva.c")

v2:
- Change have_irq_vectors from int to bool.
- Set have_irq_vectors immediately after successful IRQ vector allocation.
