This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: gscpa/stv06xx: fix memory leak to the 5.10-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: media-gscpa-stv06xx-fix-memory-leak.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3a84a2ea511847d686edbcf9612973f824fe4986 Author: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 8 12:31:20 2021 +0200 media: gscpa/stv06xx: fix memory leak [ Upstream commit 4f4e6644cd876c844cdb3bea2dd7051787d5ae25 ] For two of the supported sensors the stv06xx driver allocates memory which is stored in sd->sensor_priv. This memory is freed on a disconnect, but if the probe() fails, then it isn't freed and so this leaks memory. Add a new probe_error() op that drivers can use to free any allocated memory in case there was a probe failure. Thanks to Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> for discovering the cause of the memory leak.
