Re: [PATCH] ALSA: control led: fix memory leak in snd_ctl_led_register

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 07:08:42 EST


I've also created a Smatch check for missing ->release() functions. It
find one bug in that file. There are other bugs, but the static checker
is not clever enough to find them. I expect Smatch will get smarter
about this in the coming year.

sound/core/control_led.c:685 snd_ctl_led_sysfs_add() warn: calling put_device() with no ->release() function

So, yeay, I feel like this thread has been useful and I now understand
put_device() a little better. Please review the email thread again and
send a v2 patch. :)

regards,
dan carpenter
