Subject: [patch] Staging: vt6656: problems in error handling
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:00:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100810060012.GR9031@bicker> (raw)

The first kfree(pDevice) is pointless because pDevice is NULL.  The
second kfree(pDevice) is a double free because pDevice is the driver's
private data and that is already freed by free_netdev(netdev).  Also the
free_netdev() error path doesn't call usb_put_dev().
