[PATCH 4.4 38/62] net: gianfar: Add of_node_put() before goto statement

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2020-09-01 15:13:36
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: freescale etsec ethernet driver (gianfar), networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Claudiu Manoil, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Sumera Priyadarsini <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 989e4da042ca4a56bbaca9223d1a93639ad11e17 ]

Every iteration of for_each_available_child_of_node() decrements
reference count of the previous node, however when control
is transferred from the middle of the loop, as in the case of
a return or break or goto, there is no decrement thus ultimately
resulting in a memory leak.

Fix a potential memory leak in gianfar.c by inserting of_node_put()
before the goto statement.

Issue found with Coccinelle.
