[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] gpio: fix memory and reference leaks in gpiochip_add error path

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

 



From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 5539b3c938d64a60cb1fc442ac3ce9263d52de0c upstream.

Memory allocated and references taken by of_gpiochip_add and
acpi_gpiochip_add were never released on errors in gpiochip_add (e.g.
failure to find free gpio range).

Fixes: 391c970c0dd1 ("of/gpio: add default of_xlate function if device
has a node pointer")
Fixes: 664e3e5ac64c ("gpio / ACPI: register to ACPI events
automatically")
