[PATCH v5] PCI: imx6: fix resource leaks in probe error paths

From: Zhijian Han <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-02 16:43:35
Also in: imx, linux-pci, lkml
Subsystem: pci driver for imx6, pci native host bridge and endpoint drivers, pci subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Richard Zhu, Lucas Stach, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Krzysztof Wilczyński, Manivannan Sadhasivam, Bjorn Helgaas, Linus Torvalds

imx_pcie_probe() leaks both pwrctrl devices and power domains on failure:

- imx_pcie_attach_pd() attaches the "pcie" and "pcie_phy" power domains
  and adds device links to them, but nothing detaches the domains on
  probe failure or deferral, so they leak.

- A failure of devm_pm_runtime_set_active_enabled() returns directly
  without destroying the pwrctrl devices.

- A partial failure inside imx_pcie_attach_pd() leaks the power domains
  that were already attached.

Add imx_pcie_detach_pd() to detach the power domains in reverse order of
acquisition and register it with devm_add_action_or_reset() so the power
domains are released automatically on probe failure.  Add
DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER to the device links so the driver core
removes them automatically when probe fails, instead of tracking and
deleting them manually.

Changes in v5:
- Register imx_pcie_detach_pd() with devm_add_action_or_reset() instead
  of calling it manually on the error paths

Changes in v4:
- Use DL_FLAG_AUTOREMOVE_CONSUMER so the driver core removes the device
  links automatically, instead of tracking and deleting them manually
- Add a Fixes tag
