In proc_BSSList_open(), 'file->private_data' is allocated through kzalloc() and 'data->rbuffer' is allocated through kmalloc(). In the following execution, if an error occurs, they are not deallocated, leading to memory leaks. To fix this issue, free the allocated memory regions before returning the error.
