[PATCH 1/4] uacce: fix for cdev memory leak

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Wenkai Lin <linwenkai6@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If adding uacce cdev to the system fails, it could be due to two
reasons: either the device's devt exists when the failure occurs,
or the device_add operation fails. In the latter case, cdev_del
will be executed, but in the former case, it will not, leading to a
resource leak. Therefore, it is necessary to perform the cdev_del
action during abnormal exit.

Fixes: 015d239ac014 ("uacce: add uacce driver")
