[PATCH -next 2/3] PCI: fix possible memory leak in error case in pci_register_host_bridge()

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

 



If device_register() fails in pci_register_host_bridge(), the refcount
of bus device is leaked, so device name that set by dev_set_name() can
not be freed. Fix this by calling put_device() when device_register()
fails, so the device name will be freed in kobject_cleanup().
