Subject: [patch -next] Staging: ste_rmi4: use after input_unregister_device()
Date: Thu, 23 Dec 2010 00:07:33 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101222210733.GJ1936@bicker> (raw)

The original code called input_free_device(rmi4_data->input_dev) after
input_unregister_device(rmi4_data->input_dev) and that's a double free.
This is described in the comments to input_unregister_device().

The normal way to handle this is to make input_register_device() the
last function in the probe which can fail.  That way you can avoid the
call to input_unregister_device() entirely.
