It’s fine. I am still in the learning process. It’s also good to learn experience by comparing your patch and my patch.

Hi Dan,
I tried this patch, and it still triggers the memleak.
Did your patch fix the leak? Because my patch should have been equivalent except for it fixes an additional leak in the snd_ctl_led_init() error path.
The syzbot link is [1]. I have tested my patch in the syzbot dashboard and my local workspace.
I think the reason why your patch did not work should be led_card(struct snd_ctl_led_card) is already freed before returning in snd_ctl_led_sysfs_remove, rather than led(struct snd_ctl_led). See the implementation of snd_ctl_led_sysfs_remove for some details. Please correct me if I make any mistakes.
static void snd_ctl_led_sysfs_remove(struct snd_card *card) { unsigned int group; struct snd_ctl_led_card *led_card; struct snd_ctl_led *led; char link_name[32];
for (group = 0; group < MAX_LED; group++) { led = &snd_ctl_leds[group]; led_card = led->cards[card->number]; if (!led_card) continue; snprintf(link_name, sizeof(link_name), "led-%s", led->name); sysfs_remove_link(&card->ctl_dev.kobj, link_name); sysfs_remove_link(&led_card->dev.kobj, "card"); device_del(&led_card->dev); put_device(&led_card->dev); kfree(led_card); led->cards[card->number] = NULL; }}
This is frustrating to look at because it's not a diff so it doesn't show what you changed. I think you are saying that you added the put_device(&led_card->dev);. That's true. There are some other leaks as well. We should just fix them all. Use device_unregister() because it's cleaner.
Oh, I see your point. Yeah, we should fix these memory leaks all. I agree with device_unregister.
If both device_initialize() and device_add() succeed then call device_unregister() to unwind.
BTW, have you tested this new patch on two memory leaks?
Please keep in mind that if we don't have any release method for struct snd_ctl_led_card, it will trigger a WARN[1] in the device_release function. That's why I have to add one dummy release function.
if (dev->release) dev->release(dev); else if (dev->type && dev->type->release) dev->type->release(dev); else if (dev->class && dev->class->dev_release) dev->class->dev_release(dev); else WARN(1, KERN_ERR "Device '%s' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst.\n", dev_name(dev));
