[PATCH 6.0 0695/1073] misc: tifm: fix possible memory leak in tifm_7xx1_switch_media()

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

 



From: ruanjinjie <ruanjinjie@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fd2c930cf6a5b9176382c15f9acb1996e76e25ad ]

If device_register() returns error in tifm_7xx1_switch_media(),
name of kobject which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add()
is leaked.

Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even
if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized.

Fixes: 2428a8fe2261 ("tifm: move common device management tasks from tifm_7xx1 to tifm_core")
