This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: trigger: sysfs: fix possible memory leak in
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio: trigger: sysfs: fix possible memory leak in
iio_sysfs_trig_init()
dev_set_name() allocates memory for name, it need be freed
when device_add() fails, call put_device() to give up the
reference that hold in device_initialize(), so that it can
be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount hit to 0.
Fault injection test can trigger this:
unreferenced object 0xffff8e8340a7b4c0 (size 32):
comm "modprobe", pid 243, jiffies 4294678145 (age 48.845s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
