If the "handles" allocation or the copy_from_user() fails then we leak
"objs".  It's supposed to be freed in panfrost_job_cleanup().

Fixes: c117aa4d8701 ("drm: Add a drm_gem_objects_lookup helper")

It seems that this will return error to the caller, mangle the output
pointer and effectively still leak the objs.

Better option IMHO is to:
- move the __user/copy_from_user into the caller
Removes a silly kvmalloc_array(1,...) in ~90+ users and drops the "out" label.
Extra bonus, this is the only instance in drm_gem with __user -
consistency is nice.
- add "err" or similar label, where the objs is freed before returning an error.

The patch works.

This is "one function frees everything" style error handling.  It gets
passed back to panfrost_ioctl_submit() which calls panfrost_job_put()
which calls panfrost_job_cleanup() which frees it.

It's a horrible way to do error handling but this was the only actual
bug I could see with the approach.

Those sound like good ideas.  Also we could use kvcalloc() instead of
kvmalloc_array() with __GFP_ZERO.  But it's too much for me to do...
I'm mostly focused on static analysis warnings.

Your patch addresses the issue with the smallest diffstat, so I've
pushed it to drm-misc-next.
