Subject: [PATCH] yam: fix possible memory leak in yam_init_driver
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2020 20:18:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200604121851.63880-1-wanghai38@huawei.com> (raw)
If register_netdev(dev) fails, free_netdev(dev) needs
to be called, otherwise a memory leak will occur.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Reported-by: Hulk Robot <hulkci@huawei.com>
