You would also want to kfree(hidinput) on failure too.

Thanks for attacking this newly added warning!

Oops, of course. Thanks for catching that. Here's the updated patch

Please don't - the fix is completely broken for multi-input devices -
if 2nd device fails to register we bail out of hidinput_connect and
thus never set HID_CLAIMED_INPUT bit. So when we disconnect device we
never call hidinput_disconnect and who knows what will happen after
that.

hidinput_connect() should properly unwind already registered devices
after failure.

You are of course right, stupid me. I won't commit anything before first
morning coffee any more.

Thanks a lot.

Then the existing code to handle hidinput and input_dev allocation
failure probably also wants fixing... Dirk's patch was largely
following the same logic.

I was wondering about that. If I didn't get lost in the structures again, I
think it isn't too hard to simply call out directly to hidinput_disconnect to
do the cleanup / unwind; the &hid->inputs should contain those devices that
have successfully been registered before we failed.

Actually, the more I look at the code that bails when it runs out of memory,
the more I wonder about that.

hidinput = kzalloc(sizeof(*hidinput), GFP_KERNEL);
input_dev = input_allocate_device();
if (!hidinput || !input_dev) {
kfree(hidinput);
input_free_device(input_dev);

This either passes a NULL pointer to kfree or to input_free_device. That's
not nice.

Would something like this work?

No, that's allright. input_free_device() takes after kfree() so that
it safe to call it with NULL pointer.

Ahh - should have checked that.

Will the rest of the patch work with the call to hidinput_disconnect?
If yes then
I'll send a cleaned up version that removes the unnecessary checks in
the case here...

Actually both of the cases are fine -- it is valid to pass NULL pointer to
kfree() and to input_free_device() too.

Yes, I think that this patch is in principle fine, modulo the redundant
NULL-ptr checks.
