[PATCH -next v2] SCSI: fix possible memory leak while device_add() fails

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

 



If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() need
be freed. As comment of device_add() says, it should use put_device() to
decrease the reference count in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device, then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().
