From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@huawei.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.9-rc1 commit aebfdfe39b9327a3077d0df8db3beb3160c9bdd0 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I9L9IV CVE: CVE-2023-52652 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- If device_register() fails in ntb_register_device(), the device name allocated by dev_set_name() should be freed. As per the comment in device_register(), callers should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device() in the error path so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(). As a result of this, put_device() in the error path of ntb_register_device() is removed and the actual error is returned.
