This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: media/saa7164: fix saa7164_encoder_register() memory leak bugs to the 4.19-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-media-saa7164-fix-saa7164_encoder_register-mem.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6366a19cdf9a105d5a7ad0a326c5708c7a3b19a4 Author: Daniel Niv <danielniv3@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 11 03:53:00 2021 +0100 media: media/saa7164: fix saa7164_encoder_register() memory leak bugs [ Upstream commit c759b2970c561e3b56aa030deb13db104262adfe ] Add a fix for the memory leak bugs that can occur when the saa7164_encoder_register() function fails. The function allocates memory without explicitly freeing it when errors occur. Add a better error handling that deallocate the unused buffers before the function exits during a fail.
