If dvb_attach
<http://www.coverity.com:7448/display-error.cgi?user=fmalita&magic=8997c91336813f372812011c89e0e75e&source=2693a21be69533084392e43c4f3c5220&runid=86&table=file&line=107>(dst_attach,
...) fails in *frontend_init*(), the previously allocated 'state' is
leaked (Coverity ID 1437).
Also, when allocating 'state' the result of kmalloc() needs to be checked.

I believe that 'state' will be kfree'd by the dst_attach() function if there
is a failure. Not what you would expect, to have it allocated in the bt8xx
driver (why do is there??) and freed on error in a different function.
You know, I had a patch to fix all these dst problems two months ago....

Hm, you're right - it is kfreed in dst_attach(). But we're still missing
the kmalloc result check...

Yes.
It is at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/v4l-dvb.git;a=commit;h=626ae83bb24927ca015503448f0199842ae2e8da
I've already asked Linus to pull it, together with other 17 fixes, to
Mainstream.
