commit 55e95bfccf6db8d26a66c46e1de50d53c59a6774 upstream. Smatch complains that the error path where "action" is invalid leaks the "ce" allocation: drivers/of/dynamic.c:935 of_changeset_action() warn: possible memory leak of 'ce' Fix this by doing the validation before the allocation. Note that there is not any actual problem with upstream kernels. All callers of of_changeset_action() are static inlines with fixed action values. Fixes: 914d9d831e61 ("of: dynamic: Refactor action prints to not use "%pOF" inside devtree_lock") Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202309011059.EOdr4im9-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/7dfaf999-30ad-491c-9615-fb1138db121c@moroto.mountain Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
