From 4b6d621c9d859ff89e68cebf6178652592676013 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2023 22:03:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] memstick: fix memory leak if card device is never registered When calling dev_set_name() memory is allocated for the name for the struct device. Once that structure device is registered, or attempted to be registerd, with the driver core, the driver core will handle cleaning up that memory when the device is removed from the system. Unfortunatly for the memstick code, there is an error path that causes the struct device to never be registered, and so the memory allocated in dev_set_name will be leaked. Fix that leak by manually freeing it right before the memory for the device is freed. Cc: Maxim Levitsky Cc: Alex Dubov Cc: Ulf Hansson Cc: "Rafael J.
