[PATCH] memory: samsung: exynos-srom: Fix of_iomap leak in exynos_srom_probe

From: Zhen Ni <hidden>
Date: 2025-07-31 13:10:09

The current error handling in exynos_srom_probe() has a resource leak
in the of_platform_populate() failure path. When this function fails
after successful resource allocation, srom->reg_base is not released.

To fix this issue, replace of_iomap() with
devm_platform_ioremap_resource(). devm_platform_ioremap_resource()
is a specialized function for platform devices.
It allows 'srom->reg_base' to be automatically released whether the
probe function succeeds or fails.

Besides, use IS_ERR() instead of !srom->reg_base
as the return value of devm_platform_ioremap_resource()
can either be a pointer to the remapped memory or
an ERR_PTR() encoded error code if the operation fails.

Don't explain us kernel code. Drop sentence.

It's obvious.

I don't understand this. You keep explaining the code and this suggests
you made change here not related to original case. Can you return
srom->reg_base here? No?

as the return value of devm_platform_ioremap_resource()
can either be a pointer to the remapped memory or
an ERR_PTR() encoded error code if the operation fails.
Missing fixes and cc-stable.

Hi,

During static analysis with Smatch, I identified the following issue:
drivers/memory/samsung/exynos-srom.c:155 exynos_srom_probe()
warn: 'srom->reg_base' from of_iomap() not released on lines: 155.
Nothing in commit msg explained you used Smatch. You must describe the
tools you use.
Problem analysis:
1. In exynos_srom_probe(), the reg_base resource is acquired via of_iomap()
2. The of_platform_populate() call at the end of the function has a 
possible failure path:
Above is AI/LLM output?
root = root ? of_node_get(root) : of_find_node_by_path("/");
if (!root)
      return -EINVAL; // Failure return point
3. When this path is taken, reg_base is not released, causing a resource 
leak

Verification:
After applying the patch, the Smatch warning is resolved
This means no testing. You should mention it as well.

Don't top post. See netiquette.


Best regards,
Krzysztof

[PATCH v2] memory: samsung: exynos-srom: Fix of_iomap leak in exynos_srom_probe

From: Zhen Ni <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-06 02:55:55

The of_platform_populate() call at the end of the function has a
possible failure path, causing a resource leak.

Replace of_iomap() with devm_platform_ioremap_resource() to ensure
automatic cleanup of srom->reg_base.

This issue was detected by smatch static analysis:
drivers/memory/samsung/exynos-srom.c:155 exynos_srom_probe()warn:
'srom->reg_base' from of_iomap() not released on lines: 155.
