[PATCH v3] net: mana: Fix possible double free in error handling path

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

 



When auxiliary_device_add() returns error and then calls
auxiliary_device_uninit(), callback function adev_release
calls kfree(madev). We shouldn't call kfree(madev) again
in the error handling path. Set 'madev' to NULL.

Fixes: a69839d4327d ("net: mana: Add support for auxiliary device")
Signed-off-by: Ma Ke <make24@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v3:
- added a "Fixes" line as suggested.
Changes in v2:

- revised the description.
