From c7cd7c748a3250ca33509f9235efab9c803aca09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wenwen Wang Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2019 00:15:21 -0500 Subject: sound: fix a memory leak bug In sound_insert_unit(), the controlling structure 's' is allocated through kmalloc(). Then it is added to the sound driver list by invoking __sound_insert_unit(). Later on, if __register_chrdev() fails, 's' is removed from the list through __sound_remove_unit(). If 'index' is not less than 0, -EBUSY is returned to indicate the error. However, 's' is not deallocated on this execution path, leading to a memory leak bug. To fix the above issue, free 's' before -EBUSY is returned.
