Scope-based resource management became supported also for another
programming interface by contributions of Jonathan Cameron on 2024-02-17.
See also the commit 59ed5e2d505bf5f9b4af64d0021cd0c96aec1f7c ("device
property: Add cleanup.h based fwnode_handle_put() scope based cleanup.").
* Thus use the attribute “__free(fwnode_handle)”.
* Reduce the scope for the local variable “fwnode”.

Hi Markus,
Good catch. However in this case I think this is insufficient.
Also your patch description should more clearly state the bug rather
and impacts (a potential resource leak).
I'm not 100% sure how this should work though.
If the expectation is that a reference to the fwnode is held when we
enter typec_register_port(), then if that errors out then we
need fwnode_handle_put().
If expectation is that the reference is not held, then we should
always call fwnode_handle_put() before that is called.
Internally it just uses this to fill in port->dev.fwnode.
Given typec_get_fw_cap() is called from there and doesn't get a reference
I think expectation is that the fwnode is held by the driver calling
typec_register_port() until that is unregistered.
Hence should be put in the error path of that call in the calling driver.
ctx->typec.port = typec_register_port(dev, cap);
if (IS_ERR(ctx->typec.port)) {
// fwnode_handle_put() in here.
ret = PTR_ERR(ctx->typec.port);
ctx->typec.port = NULL;
dev_err(dev, "Failed to register type c port %d\n", ret);
return ret;
}
That makes it tricky to use no_free_ptr() so I wonder if this is
a case where the old fashioned fix of adding all the relevant
fwnode_handle_put() calls is the better option. The __free()
approach doesn't always fit.
Jonathan

The API documentation for the function “device_get_named_child_node”
contains the following information:
“…
The caller is responsible for calling fwnode_handle_put()
on the returned fwnode pointer.
…”
The mentioned requirement was not fulfilled so that a resource leak
will occur in some error cases after a device_get_named_child_node() call
succeeded in this function implementation.
Thus apply scope-based resource management which became supported also
for this programming interface by contributions of Jonathan Cameron
on 2024-02-17.
See also the commit 59ed5e2d505bf5f9b4af64d0021cd0c96aec1f7c ("device
property: Add cleanup.h based fwnode_handle_put() scope based cleanup.").
* Use the attribute “__free(fwnode_handle)” accordingly.
* Reduce the scope for the local variable “fwnode”.

I guess that clarifications can become interesting also for backporting concerns
because of the proposed software transformation.

Was the fwnode leaked, or why else is this a "fix"? It's not clear
from the commit message. In any case:

Can you notice that fwnode_handle_put() calls were forgotten
in the mentioned function implementation?
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc2/source/drivers/usb/typec/anx7411.c#L1140
I propose another code cleanup accordingly.
Will development attention grow anyhow for information in the available
API documentation?
Example:
device_get_named_child_node()
