From 12fb8c1574d7d0c262d2f4c667047889c4f27ebe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:41:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] don't kfree an initialized struct device This patch (as1359) fixes a bug in scsi_alloc_target(). After a device structure has been initialized (and especially after its name has been set), it must not be freed directly. One has to call put_device() instead.
