Subject: [PATCH] pcmcia: cs: fix possible hung task and memory leak pccardd()
Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2022 17:25:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221112092541.3605038-1-yangyingliang@huawei.com> (raw)
If device_register() returns error in pccardd(), it leads two issues:
1. The socket_released has never been completed, it will block
pcmcia_unregister_socket(), because of waiting for completion
of socket_released.
2. The device name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked.
Fix this two issues by calling put_device() when device_register() fails.
socket_released can be completed in pcmcia_release_socket(), the name can
be freed in kobject_cleanup().
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
