From 03d1057305ef17ac3f5936ac1580bc9a1a826e14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Myeonghun Pak Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:25:17 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] net: mctp i3c: clean up notifier and buses if driver register fails mctp_i3c_mod_init() registers the I3C bus notifier and then walks the existing buses with i3c_for_each_bus_locked(mctp_i3c_bus_add_new, NULL) before registering the I3C device driver. If i3c_driver_register() fails, the function returns the error directly, leaving the notifier registered and every mctp_i3c_bus object created for the existing buses allocated. The notifier is left pointing into the module that failed to load and the bus list is leaked. Mirror the module exit path on this failure: unregister the notifier and tear down the buses that were added before returning the error. This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while reviewing kernel code.
