The problem was in invalid error handling in dvb_usb_adapter_init(). for (n = 0; n < d->props.num_adapters; n++) { .... if ((ret = dvb_usb_adapter_stream_init(adap)) || (ret = dvb_usb_adapter_dvb_init(adap, adapter_nrs)) || (ret = dvb_usb_adapter_frontend_init(adap))) { return ret; } ... d->num_adapters_initialized++; ... } In case of error in dvb_usb_adapter_dvb_init() or dvb_usb_adapter_dvb_init() d->num_adapters_initialized won't be incremented, but dvb_usb_adapter_exit() relies on it: for (n = 0; n < d->num_adapters_initialized; n++) So, allocated objects won't be freed.
