Summary

In the Linux gp2ap002 light sensor driver, a runtime PM reference leak occurs when gp2ap002_read_raw() fails, skipping the put_autosuspend call and preventing device autosuspend.

Risk Assessment

This leak can increase power consumption and reduce battery life in embedded systems.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that replaces the direct return with a 'goto out' to ensure proper reference release.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: light: gp2ap002: fix runtime PM leak on read error gp2ap002_read_raw() calls pm_runtime_get_sync() before reading the lux value, but if gp2ap002_get_lux() fails, it returns directly. This skips the pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() call at the "out" label, permanently leaking a runtime PM reference and preventing the device from autosuspending. Replace the direct return with a "goto out" to ensure the reference is properly dropped on the error path.
