# \[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 2/4\] ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Fix reference count leak in enable\_slot() - From: Sasha Levin \ - Date: 2021-05-12 19:57:56 - List: stable - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/stable/2021/05/1376008 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/stable/2021/05/1376005/t.md ```text From: Feilong Lin [ Upstream commit 3bbfd319034ddce59e023837a4aa11439460509b ] In enable_slot(), if pci_get_slot() returns NULL, we clear the SLOT_ENABLED flag. When pci_get_slot() finds a device, it increments the device's reference count. In this case, we did not call pci_dev_put() to decrement the reference count, so the memory of the device (struct pci_dev type) will eventually leak. Call pci_dev_put() to decrement its reference count when pci_get_slot() returns a PCI device.
