commit 7174dc655ef0578877b0b4598e69619d2be28b4d upstream. If the call to devm_spi_register_master() fails on probe of the GPIO SPI driver, the spi_master struct is erroneously not freed: After allocating the spi_master, its reference count is 1. The driver unconditionally decrements the reference count on unbind using a devm action. Before calling devm_spi_register_master(), the driver unconditionally increments the reference count because on success, that function will decrement the reference count on unbind. However on failure, devm_spi_register_master() does *not* decrement the reference count, so the spi_master is leaked. The issue was introduced by commits |

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
