This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: target: tcm_loop: Fix possible name leak in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus() to the 6.0-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: scsi-target-tcm_loop-fix-possible-name-leak-in-tcm_l.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8b9944c87d5b0750a8c85e0af2d464bf4c23eddf Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 15 09:50:42 2022 +0800 scsi: target: tcm_loop: Fix possible name leak in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus() [ Upstream commit bc68e428d4963af0201e92159629ab96948f0893 ] If device_register() fails in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus(), the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(). The 'tl_hba' will be freed in tcm_loop_release_adapter(), so it don't need goto error label in this case.
