[PATCH 04/23] gpiolib: Fix resource leaks on errors in lineinfo_changed_notify()
From: Tzung-Bi Shih
Date: Fri Jan 16 2026 - 03:11:19 EST
On error handling paths, lineinfo_changed_notify() doesn't free the
allocated resources which results leaks. Fix it.
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: d4cd0902c156 ("gpio: cdev: make sure the cdev fd is still active before emitting events")
