[PATCH] drm/xe: fix refcount leak in xe_range_fence_insert()
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Mon Jun 08 2026 - 02:41:40 EST
xe_range_fence_insert() acquires a reference on fence via
dma_fence_get() and stores it in rfence->fence. It then calls
dma_fence_add_callback() and handles two cases: when the callback
is successfully registered (err == 0) the fence is transferred to
the tree for later cleanup; when the fence is already signaled
(err == -ENOENT) it manually drops the extra reference with
dma_fence_put(fence).
However, dma_fence_add_callback() can fail with other errors
(e.g. -EINVAL) and in that case the code falls through to the free:
label without releasing the acquired reference, leaking it.
Fix the leak by adding an else branch that calls dma_fence_put()
before jumping to free: for any error other than -ENOENT.
