Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: Fix dev_iommu memory leak when device_add fails in iommu_mock_device_add
iommu_mock_device_add() first calls iommu_fwspec_init(), which on
success allocates both dev->iommu (via dev_iommu_get()) and
dev->iommu->fwspec. If the subsequent device_add(dev) call fails,
the error path only calls iommu_fwspec_free(dev), which frees
fwspec but leaves dev->iommu still allocated.
This triggers the following kmemleak report when fuzzing with Syzkaller:
