This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mmc: moxart: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() to the 5.4-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: mmc-moxart-fix-return-value-check-of-mmc_add_host.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8ae1784b8e52d2704ea1ca08e33c22d284b2f704 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 1 14:30:16 2022 +0800 mmc: moxart: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() [ Upstream commit 0ca18d09c744fb030ae9bc5836c3e357e0237dea ] mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path. So fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call mmc_free_host().
