From: Ben Hutchings ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2018 17:01:36 +0000 Subject: xhci: Fix ring leak in failure path of xhci_alloc_virt_device() Message-ID: 20180111170136.abfqwdgvgapfiumn@xylophone.i.decadent.org.uk
From: Ben Hutchings ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk
This is a stable-only fix for the backport of commit 5d9b70f7d52e ("xhci: Don't add a virt_dev to the devs array before it's fully allocated").
In branches that predate commit c5628a2af83a ("xhci: remove endpoint ring cache") there is an additional failure path in xhci_alloc_virt_device() where ring cache allocation fails, in which case we need to free the ring allocated for endpoint 0.
