In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rapidio: fix possible name leaks when rio_add_device() fails
Patch series rapidio: fix three possible memory leaks.
This patchset fixes three name leaks in error handling.
This patch (of 2):
If rio_add_device() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. It should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path, so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(), and the rdev can be freed in rio_release_dev().
