This warning should blame on commit 5a640967 ("tty/n_gsm.c: fix a memory leak in gsmld_open()").Oh, yes, I messed up the "Fixes" line then. It should write: Fixes: 5a640967 ("tty/n_gsm.c: fix a memory leak in gsmld_open()")that's Okay. :)quoted

I have one confusion. As there is field gsm->num to store the index of gsm_mux[]. so in gsm_cleanup_mux(), why we still use for-loop to find this mux? In error handle path, for example, the call trace in this patch, as we failed to activate it and the gsm->num is invalid(and the value is 0). we can just modify the codes like below: if(gsm_mux[gsm->num] == gsm) ....other work else return; I think it would work, and the logic is correct. Or I just miss something important?Yup, it looks like a cleanup. Could you prepare a separate patch for that?yes, I will do that :)quoted
Something like this: /* open failed before registering => nothing to do */ if (gsm_mux[gsm->num] != gsm) return; spin_lock(&gsm_mux_lock); gsm_mux[gsm->num] = NULL; spin_unlock(&gsm_mux_lock);looks pretty good, thanks.
This is still not merged and fires regularly for me. Can we please merge it?
