[ Upstream commit ee3e4209e66d44180a41d5ca7271361a2a28fccf ]
Device can be unbound or probe can fail, so driver must also release memory for the wakeup source.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Detailed Analysis ### 1. Nature of the Bug This is a **resource leak fix** that addresses a memory leak in wakeup source management. The change from `device_init_wakeup(bdev->dev, true)` to `devm_device_init_wakeup(bdev->dev)` is critical because: - **Manual management risk**: The original code manually enables wakeup capability but has no corresponding cleanup in the remove path - **Automatic cleanup**: The new `devm_device_init_wakeup()` uses the device resource management framework to automatically clean up wakeup sources when the device is unbound ### 2. Impact and Severity **Memory leak occurs when:** - Device is unbound/removed - Driver probe fails after wakeup initialization - System module unloading **What gets leaked:** - `struct wakeup_source` structures (~200 bytes each) - Associated name strings and metadata - Debugfs entries - IDA allocations for unique IDs ### 3. Pattern Recognition from Similar Commits Looking at the historical similar commits provided, I can see this is part of a **systematic kernel-wide fix campaign**: - **Commits #4 and #5** (gpio-zynq and gpio- mpc8xxx) show identical patterns with "Backport Status: YES" - **Commits #1, #2, #3** are feature additions/improvements with "Backport Status: NO" The gpio commits demonstrate this exact same fix pattern being deemed appropriate for stable backporting. ### 4. Code Analysis The fix is **minimal and contained**: ```c - err = device_init_wakeup(bdev->dev, true); + err = devm_device_init_wakeup(bdev->dev); ``` **Risk assessment:** - **Very low regression risk**: `devm_device_init_wakeup()` is a simple wrapper that adds automatic cleanup - **No functional changes**: Same wakeup behavior, just proper resource management - **Well-tested pattern**: Same fix applied across multiple kernel subsystems ### 5. Stable Tree Criteria Compliance ✅ **Fixes important bug**: Resource leaks can lead to memory exhaustion ✅ **Small and contained**: Single line change ✅ **Clear side effects**: None beyond fixing the leak ✅ **No architectural changes**: Pure resource management improvement ✅ **Minimal regression risk**: Uses established devres patterns ✅ **Author expertise**: Krzysztof Kozlowski is a well-known kernel maintainer ### 6. Driver Importance The btmtksdio driver supports MediaTek Bluetooth SDIO devices, which are widely used in: - Android smartphones and tablets - IoT devices - Embedded systems - Consumer electronics Device unbinding is common during: - System suspend/resume cycles - Module loading/unloading - Device hotplug scenarios - Driver updates ### 7. Comparison with Reference Commits This commit closely matches the **"YES"** examples (commits #4 and #5): - Same author (Krzysztof Kozlowski) - Identical fix pattern (`device_init_wakeup` → `devm_device_init_wakeup`) - Same commit message structure - Same Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org tag - Same resource leak issue being addressed **Conclusion**: This is a straightforward resource leak fix that follows established patterns for stable tree backporting. The risk is minimal while the benefit is clear - preventing memory leaks that could lead to system instability over time.
