This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled thermal: core: fix some possible name leaks in error paths to the 6.1-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: thermal-core-fix-some-possible-name-leaks-in-error-p.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8b258bb8285d19379eba0300590ec9a8c0e16cac Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 15 17:19:45 2022 +0800 thermal: core: fix some possible name leaks in error paths [ Upstream commit 4748f9687caaeefab8578285b97b2f30789fc4b4 ] In some error paths before device_register(), the names allocated by dev_set_name() are not freed. Move dev_set_name() front to device_register(), so the name can be freed while calling put_device().
