Subject: [PATCH 3.10 01/17] gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_export_link
Date: Mon,  9 Feb 2015 16:33:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150209083039.418999083@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150209083039.240170510@linuxfoundation.org>

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

commit 0f303db08df0df9bd0966443ad6001e63960af16 upstream.

Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop
reference to device returned by class_find_device when creating a link.

Fixes: a4177ee7f1a8 ("gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs links")
