[PATCH] staging: vme_user: fix flush_image leak in tsi148 bridge
From: Cong Nguyen
Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 07:15:51 EST
When error checking is enabled (err_chk=1), tsi148_probe() allocates an
extra master window resource, tsi148_device->flush_image, which is used
to flush posted writes by reading back over the VME bus. Unlike the
regular master windows, this resource is not linked into
tsi148_bridge->master_resources.
Because it is not on any resource list, it is freed neither by the probe
error path (which only walks the master_resources list) nor by
tsi148_remove(), so it is leaked whenever err_chk is set and either
probe fails after the allocation or the device is unbound / the module
is unloaded.
Free flush_image in both the probe error path and tsi148_remove(). This
is safe when err_chk is disabled: tsi148_device is allocated with
kzalloc() so flush_image is NULL and kfree(NULL) is a no-op.
