Hi, (please cc me as I am not subscribed to this list)
While testing kmemleak, I came across a leak reported in hid_parse_report. The backtrace of the memory allocation is: orphan pointer 0xdbed5ec4 (size 192): c018d3e3: <__kmalloc_track_caller> c0177805: <__kzalloc> e01e6dc6: <hid_parse_report> e01e8af7: <usb_hid_configure> e01e9394: <hid_probe> e00535ef: <usb_probe_interface> c029efc5: <driver_probe_device> c029f13f: <__driver_attach> This is actually the device->collection pointer assigned in hid_parse_report() but not freed when the device is disconnected. I reproduce this by connecting and disconnecting a USB mouse on my laptop. My attempt to free dev->collection in hid_free_device() didn't solve the issue. I suspect that a dev->collection kfree is missing on the hiddev_disconnect() path but I am not familiar with this code to provide a proper fix.
