[PATCH can] can: gs_usb: gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak
From: Marc Kleine-Budde
Date: Thu Dec 25 2025 - 09:06:13 EST
In gs_can_open(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are allocated, added to the
parent->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the complete callback
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(), the URB is processed and resubmitted. In
gs_can_close() the URBs are freed by calling
usb_kill_anchored_urbs(parent->rx_submitted).
However, this does not take into account that the USB framework
unanchors the URB before the close function is called. This means that
once an in-URB has been completed, it is no longer anchored and is
ultimately not released in gs_can_close().
Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback() to the parent->rx_submitted anchor.
