[PATCH] drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix possible memory leak when device_register() failed

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

 



The reference must be released when device_register(&child_device_obj->device) failed.
Fix this by adding 'put_device()' in the error handling path.
