Inject fault while probing module, if device_register() fails, but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the name allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this by calling put_device(), so that name can be freed in callback function kobject_cleanup(). unreferenced object 0xffff88807d687008 (size 8): comm "modprobe", pid 8280, jiffies 4294807686 (age 12.378s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 6d 64 70 79 00 6b 6b a5 mdpy.kk. backtrace: [<ffffffff8174f19e>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x4e/0x150 [<ffffffff81731d53>] kstrdup+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffff83aa1421>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x41/0x110 [<ffffffff82d91abb>] dev_set_name+0xab/0xe0 [<ffffffffa0260105>] 0xffffffffa0260105 [<ffffffff81001c27>] do_one_initcall+0x87/0x2e0 [<ffffffff813739cb>] do_init_module+0x1ab/0x640 [<ffffffff81379d20>] load_module+0x5d00/0x77f0 [<ffffffff8137bc40>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x110/0x1b0 [<ffffffff83c944a5>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<ffffffff83e0006a>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 unreferenced object 0xffff888101ccbcf8 (size 8): comm "modprobe", pid 15662, jiffies 4295164481 (age 13.282s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 6d 74 74 79 00 6b 6b a5 mtty.kk. backtrace: [<ffffffff8174f19e>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x4e/0x150 [<ffffffff81731d53>] kstrdup+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffff83aa1421>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x41/0x110 [<ffffffff82d91abb>] dev_set_name+0xab/0xe0 [<ffffffffa0248134>] 0xffffffffa0248134 [<ffffffff81001c27>] do_one_initcall+0x87/0x2e0 [<ffffffff813739cb>] do_init_module+0x1ab/0x640 [<ffffffff81379d20>] load_module+0x5d00/0x77f0 [<ffffffff8137bc40>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x110/0x1b0 [<ffffffff83c944a5>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<ffffffff83e0006a>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 unreferenced object 0xffff88810177c6c8 (size 8): comm "modprobe", pid 23657, jiffies 4295314656 (age 13.227s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 6d 62 6f 63 68 73 00 a5 mbochs.. backtrace: [<ffffffff8174f19e>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x4e/0x150 [<ffffffff81731d53>] kstrdup+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffff83aa1421>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x41/0x110 [<ffffffff82d91abb>] dev_set_name+0xab/0xe0 [<ffffffffa0248124>] 0xffffffffa0248124 [<ffffffff81001c27>] do_one_initcall+0x87/0x2e0 [<ffffffff813739cb>] do_init_module+0x1ab/0x640 [<ffffffff81379d20>] load_module+0x5d00/0x77f0 [<ffffffff8137bc40>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x110/0x1b0 [<ffffffff83c944a5>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<ffffffff83e0006a>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Fixes: d61fc96f47fd ("sample: vfio mdev display - host device") Fixes: 9d1a546c53b4 ("docs: Sample driver to demonstrate how to use Mediated device framework.")
