Message-ID: <20080903182641.75db23a6@gondolin.boeblingen.de.ibm.com> Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2008 18:26:41 +0200 From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@...ibm.com> To: Greg K-H <greg@...ah.com> Cc: linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [Patch 2/2] Driver core: Fix cleanup in device_create_vargs(). If device_register() in device_create_vargs() fails, the device must be cleaned up with put_device() (which is also fine on NULL) instead of kfree().
