3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> commit 4ce6435820d1f1cc2c2788e232735eb244bcc8a3 upstream. If addition of sysfs files fails on registration of a hotplug slot, the struct pci_slot as well as the entry in the slot_list is leaked. The issue has been present since the hotplug core was introduced in 2002: https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/a8a2069f432c Perhaps the idea was that even though sysfs addition fails, the slot should still be usable. But that's not how drivers use the interface, they abort probe if a non-zero value is returned.
