From: ruanjinjie <ruanjinjie@huawei.com> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.270 commit 1695b1adcc3a7d985cd22fa3b55761edf3fab50d category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/ICYBXA CVE: CVE-2022-50349 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit fd2c930cf6a5b9176382c15f9acb1996e76e25ad ] If device_register() returns error in tifm_7xx1_switch_media(), name of kobject which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add() is leaked. Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the reference initialized.
