From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 9ecdbed7903921f29adae63a3155814b453e7186 ] 'channels' is allocated via kmemdup and it is never freed in the subsequent error paths. Use 'indio_dev->channels' directly instead, so that we avoid such memory leak problem.
