Subject: NTB: ntb_transport: fix possible memory leak while device_register() fails
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8623ccbfc55d962e19a3537652803676ad7acb90;p=linux.git

NTB: ntb_transport: fix possible memory leak while device_register() fails

If device_register() returns error, the name allocated by
dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register()
says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in
the error path. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the
name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(), and client_dev is freed
in ntb_transport_client_release().
