[PATCH] PCI/IOV: Fix peer device reference leak in sriov_init()
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Thu Sep 17 2026 - 09:30:47 EST
sriov_init() takes a reference to the SR-IOV physical function device
with pci_dev_get() and stores it in iov->dev. If the subsequent
compute_max_vf_buses() call fails, the fail_max_buses path frees iov
without dropping that reference, unlike sriov_release() which puts
iov->dev on the normal teardown path.
Drop the reference on the fail_max_buses path as well.
Fixes: ea9a8854161d ("PCI: Set SR-IOV NumVFs to zero after enumeration")
