From 41320b18a0e0dfb236dba4edb9be12dba1878156 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhu Wang Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2023 19:14:21 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] scsi: snic: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() needs be freed. As the comment of device_add() says, put_device() should be used to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().
