[PATCH 6/8] Drivers: hv: utils: Remove util transport handler from list if registration fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alex Ng <alexng@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If util transport fails to initialize for any reason, the list of transport
handlers may become corrupted due to freeing the transport handler without
removing it from the list. Fix this by cleaning it up from the list.
