From 33519ccf9426c417b61bb57d777d843def7deecb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yang Yingliang Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2022 17:25:41 +0800 Subject: pcmcia: cs: fix possible hung task and memory leak pccardd() [ Upstream commit e3ea1b4847e49234e691c0d66bf030bd65bb7f2b ] If device_register() returns error in pccardd(), it leads two issues: 1. The socket_released has never been completed, it will block pcmcia_unregister_socket(), because of waiting for completion of socket_released. 2. The device name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this two issues by calling put_device() when device_register() fails. socket_released can be completed in pcmcia_release_socket(), the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
