From 9110056fe10b0519529bdbbac37311a5037ea0c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kurt Borja kuurtb@gmail.com Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2025 14:31:20 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix kobject cleanup MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In tlmi_analyze(), allocated structs with an embedded kobject are freed in error paths after the they were already initialized.

Fix this by first by avoiding the initialization of kobjects in tlmi_analyze() and then by correctly cleaning them up in tlmi_release_attr() using their kset's kobject list.

Fixes: a40cd7ef22fb ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Add WMI interface support on Lenovo platforms") Fixes: 30e78435d3bf ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Split kobject_init() and kobject_add() calls") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Mark Pearson mpearson-lenovo@squebb.ca Reviewed-by: Ilpo Järvinen ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Kurt Borja kuurtb@gmail.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250630-lmi-fix-v3-2-ce4f81c9c481@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com
