From c1a752ba2d6b8a52879c7ab637cff38359ea9827 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leon Yu Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 13:08:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tty: don't leak cdev in tty_cdev_add() Commit a3a10ce3429e ("Avoid usb reset crashes by making tty_io cdevs truly dynamic") which mixes using cdev_alloc() and cdev_init() is problematic. Subsequent call to cdev_init() after cdev_alloc() sets kobj release method from cdev_dynamic_release() to cdev_default_release() and thus makes it impossible to free allocated cdev. This patch also consolidates error path of cdev_add() as cdev can also leak here if things went wrong.
