This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled PCI/sysfs: Fix double free in error path 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: pci-sysfs-fix-double-free-in-error-path.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. >From aa382ffa705bea9931ec92b6f3c70e1fdb372195 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2022 17:05:59 -0600 Subject: PCI/sysfs: Fix double free in error path From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit aa382ffa705bea9931ec92b6f3c70e1fdb372195 upstream. When pci_create_attr() fails, pci_remove_resource_files() is called which will iterate over the res_attr[_wc] arrays and frees every non NULL entry. To avoid a double free here set the array entry only after it's clear we successfully initialized it.
