Hi,

if i additionally enable kmemleak (on top of multi_v7_defconfig) on RPi 3 (4 cores) with 4.13-rc4, i get the following output from kmemleak:

If i revert the last commit in cpuidle-arm d50a7d8acd78 ("ARM: cpuidle: Support asymmetric idle definition") then kmemleak stays calm.

I cannot reproduce the error at my side, I also tried to disable idle
states but cannot trigger the failure. So first thing is to know the
reason for registeration failure and finally introduce the memory
leaking. Could you point out the dts you are using for idle states
binding?

thanks for you quick response. Sorry, i forgot to mention that arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/bcm2837.dtsi doesn't contain any idle states. So the error path of dt_init_idle_driver() is expected. If i get it right, the clean up loop after out_fail only handles registered drivers (better label name or a comment would be helpful). So combined with your fix the following fixes the memleak for me (didn't test the clean up loop):
