If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6fd0734675c849ed05b2c2bacf88959f1fec817a Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 14 23:26:36 2022 +0800 rapidio: rio: fix possible name leak in rio_register_mport() [ Upstream commit e92a216d16bde65d21a3227e0fb2aa0794576525 ] If device_register() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. It should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path, so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(), and list_del() is called to delete the port from rio_mports.
