Subject: [PATCH 1/4] RTC: fix double free in rtc_register_device() error path
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 16:02:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437433372-15425-1-git-send-email-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit 59cca865f21e9e7beab73fcf79ba4eb776a4c228 correctly noted that naked
kfree() should not be used after failed device_register() call, however,
while it added the needed put_device() it forgot to remove the original
kfree() causing double-free.
