[PATCH] EDAC/x38: Fix mci_pdev reference leak in x38_init_one()
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 05:24:13 EST
In x38_init_one(), a reference to the PCI device is taken with
pci_dev_get() and stored in the global mci_pdev even when x38_probe1()
fails. On that path x38_registered keeps its initial value of 1, so
x38_exit() skips the pci_dev_put() and the reference is leaked.
Only take the reference after x38_probe1() succeeds.
