The functions "kcalloc" and "kzalloc" were called in four cases by the
function "usbdux_alloc_usb_buffers" without checking immediately
if they succeded.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Allocated memory was also not released if one of these function
calls failed.

* Split a condition check for memory allocation failures.

* Add more exception handling.

 static void usbdux_free_usb_buffers(struct comedi_device *dev)


Actually, the original code worked fine, and these changes will result in an Oops if the allocations fail. I'll explain why, since it isn't obvious without some knowledge of the clean-up strategy used by comedi drivers:

1. usbdux_alloc_usb_buffers() is called from usbdux_auto_attach().
2. usbdux_auto_attach() will return an error if usbdux_alloc_usb_buffers() fails. 3. If usbdux_auto_attach() returns an error to the core comedi module, the core comedi module will call usbdux_detach().
4. usbdux_detach() calls usbdux_free_usb_buffers().
5. usbdux_free_usb_buffers() frees any of the buffers that were successfully allocated by usbdux_alloc_usb_buffers().

The net result is that devpriv->dux_commands and the others will be passed to kfree() twice, leading to the oops. That could be prevented by settting devpriv->dux_commands and the others to NULL in the error handling of usbdux_alloc_usb_buffers(), but it really isn't necessary as the existing code works, and all the other comedi drivers follow the same strategy of leaving clean-up to their comedi 'detach' handler.
