[PATCH] xen/pcifront: Fix PCI device reference leak in pcifront_common_process()
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Thu Sep 17 2026 - 10:30:11 EST
pcifront_common_process() gets a reference to the PCI device with
pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() and only drops it on the early error
path. Returning directly from the AER handler switch instead of
recording the result and falling through to the common
pci_dev_put(pcidev) leaks the reference on every successful call.
Collect the handler result in a variable and drop the reference on the
single exit path again.
Fixes: 34ab316d7287 ("xen/pcifront: Drop pcifront_common_process() tests of pcidev, pdrv")
