This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mmc: via-sdmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() to the 4.14-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-via-sdmmc-fix-return-value-check-of-mmc_add_host.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0af83d7785146b1aef5e007abb0b976ba8e1c531 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 8 21:09:49 2022 +0800 mmc: via-sdmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() [ Upstream commit e4e46fb61e3bb4628170810d3f2b996b709b90d9 ] mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, it will lead two issues: 1. The memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() is leaked. 2. In the remove() path, mmc_remove_host() will be called to delete device, but it's not added yet, it will lead a kernel crash because of null-ptr-deref in device_del(). Fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call mmc_free_host().
