3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit f019f07ecf6a6b8bd6d7853bce70925d90af02d1 upstream.
The uio_unregister_device() function assumes that if "info->uio_dev" is
non-NULL that means "info" is fully allocated. Setting info->uio_de
has to be the last thing in the function.
In the current code, if request_threaded_irq() fails then we return with
info->uio_dev set to non-NULL but info is not fully allocated and it can
lead to double frees.
Fixes: beafc54c4e2f ("UIO: Add the User IO core code")
