This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: don't free cfi->cfiq in error path of cfi_amdstd_setup() to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mtd-cfi_cmdset_0002-don-t-free-cfi-cfiq-in-error-pat.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 18376914943a18a9f3c643a16b946603b39e0b0f Author: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 8 10:36:37 2019 +0800 mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: don't free cfi->cfiq in error path of cfi_amdstd_setup() [ Upstream commit 03976af89e3bd9489d542582a325892e6a8cacc0 ] Else there may be a double-free problem, because cfi->cfiq will be freed by mtd_do_chip_probe() if both the two invocations of check_cmd_set() return failure.
