[PATCH] fbdev: nvidia: Release write-combining handle on probe failure
From: Myeonghun Pak
Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 20:55:01 EST
Failures in nvidia_set_fbinfo() or register_framebuffer() leave the handle
from arch_phys_wc_add() allocated. Release it in the shared error path,
as nvidiafb_remove() already does on normal removal.
The missing cleanup was already present in the initial Git import,
when the driver used mtrr_add() directly.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.
