[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: fix device_node leak in drc-info lookup error paths

From: Haotian Zhang

Date: Thu Oct 08 2026 - 23:55:01 EST


cpu_to_drc_index() and drc_index_to_cpu() acquire the /cpus device_node
with of_find_node_by_path() and then walk the ibm,drc-info property. When
an entry whose drc_type is not "CPU" is encountered, the code jumps to the
err label, which is *after* the err_of_node_put label, so of_node_put() is
skipped and the reference taken on the /cpus node is leaked on every such
exit.

Jump to err_of_node_put instead so the device_node reference is always
released.
