When rtnl_configure_link() fails, peer needs to be
freed just like when register_netdevice() fails.

Btw. as the vxcan.c driver bases on veth.c the same issue can be found
there!
At this point:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/veth.c#L1398
err_register_dev:
/* nothing to do */
err_configure_peer:
unregister_netdevice(peer);
return err; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
err_register_peer:
free_netdev(peer);
return err;
}
IMO the return must be removed to fall through the next label and free
the netdevice too.
Would you like so send a patch for veth.c too?
Best regards,
Oliver

Ah, this is where Liu Dinghao got the veth suggestion :)
Does vxcan actually need this patch?
static void vxcan_setup(struct net_device *dev)
{
[...]
dev->needs_free_netdev = true;

Oh!
In fact the vxcan.c is really similar to veth.c in these code snippets -
so I wondered why this never had been seen in veth.c.
Then vxcan.c doesn't need that patch too :-/
Thanks for the heads up!
@Marc: Can you please make sure that it doesn't get into upstream? Tnx!
Best,
Oliver

Ok, I've removed
can: vxcan: Fix memleak in vxcan_newlink [Dinghao Liu]
from my linux-can/testing.
