Subject: [PATCH net] wwan_hwsim: fix possible memory leak in wwan_hwsim_dev_new()
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2022 21:16:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221018131607.1901641-1-yangyingliang@huawei.com> (raw)

Inject fault while probing module, if device_register() fails,
but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the name
allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this by calling
put_device(), so that name can be freed in callback function
kobject_cleanup().

unreferenced object 0xffff88810152ad20 (size 8):
  comm "modprobe", pid 252, jiffies 4294849206 (age 22.713s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):
    68 77 73 69 6d 30 00 ff                          hwsim0..
  backtrace:
    [<000000009c3504ed>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x44/0x1b0
