Subject: [PATCH 3.2 10/24] gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_export_link
Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2015 22:11:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <lsq.1425420688.857385337@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <lsq.1425420688.806916072@decadent.org.uk>
3.2.68-rc1 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")
