In the xnlx_dp_init() function we create the s->dpcd and s->edid objects with qdev_new(); then in xlnx_dp_realize() we realize the dpcd with qdev_realize() and the edid with qdev_realize_and_unref().
This is inconsistent, and both ways result in a memory leak for the instance_init -> deinit lifecycle tested by device-introspect-test: Indirect leak of 1968 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: #0 0x5aded4d54e23 in malloc (/mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/qemu-system-aarch64+0x24ffe23) (BuildId: 9f1e6c5 3fecd904ba5fc1f521d7da080a0e4103b) #1 0x71fbfac9bb09 in g_malloc (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0+0x62b09) (BuildId: 1eb6131419edb83b2178b682829a6913cf682d75) #2 0x5aded7b9211c in object_new_with_type /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../qom/object.c:767:15 #3 0x5aded7b92240 in object_new /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../qom/object.c:789:12 #4 0x5aded7b773e4 in qdev_new /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../hw/core/qdev.c:149:19 #5 0x5aded54458be in xlnx_dp_init /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../hw/display/xlnx_dp.c:1272:20 Direct leak of 344 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: #0 0x5aded4d54e23 in malloc (/mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/qemu-system-aarch64+0x24ffe23) (BuildId: 9f1e6c53fecd904ba5fc1f521d7da080a0e4103b) #1 0x71fbfac9bb09 in g_malloc (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0+0x62b09) (BuildId: 1eb6131419edb83b2178b682829a6913cf682d75) #2 0x5aded7b9211c in object_new_with_type /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../qom/object.c:767:15 #3 0x5aded7b92240 in object_new /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../qom/object.c:789:12 #4 0x5aded7b773e4 in qdev_new /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../hw/core/qdev.c:149:19 #5 0x5aded5445a56 in xlnx_dp_init /mnt/nvmedisk/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/arm-asan/../../hw/display/xlnx_dp.c:1275:22 Instead, explicitly object_unref() after we have added the objects as child properties of the device. This means they will automatically be freed when this device is deinited. When we do this, qdev_realize() is the correct way to realize them in xlnx_dp_realize().
