[PATCH 4.19 037/206] yam: fix possible memory leak in yam_init_driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wang Hai <wanghai38@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 98749b7188affbf2900c2aab704a8853901d1139 ]

If register_netdev(dev) fails, free_netdev(dev) needs
to be called, otherwise a memory leak will occur.
