From 17d941dc30337840d962dddbddfdcf9dac7c4b22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2019 13:02:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix memory leak of wiphy device name commit 4f488fbca2a86cc7714a128952eead92cac279ab upstream. In wiphy_new_nm(), if an error occurs after dev_set_name() and device_initialize() have already been called, it's necessary to call put_device() (via wiphy_free()) to avoid a memory leak.
