This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: buffer: Fix memory leak in iio_buffers_alloc_sysfs_and_mask()
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

When 'iio_dev_opaque->buffer_ioctl_handler' alloc fails in iio_buffers_alloc_sysfs_and_mask(), the 'attrs' allocated in iio_buffer_register_legacy_sysfs_groups() will be leaked:
unreferenced object 0xffff888108568d00 (size 128): comm "88", pid 2014, jiffies 4294963294 (age 26.920s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 80 3e da 02 80 88 ff ff 00 3a da 02 80 88 ff ff .>.......:...... 00 35 da 02 80 88 ff ff 00 38 da 02 80 88 ff ff .5.......8...... backtrace: [<0000000095a9e51e>] __kmalloc+0x1a3/0x2f0 [<00000000faa3735e>] iio_buffers_alloc_sysfs_and_mask+0xfa3/0x1480 [industrialio] [<00000000a46384dc>] __iio_device_register+0x52e/0x1b40 [industrialio] [<00000000210af05e>] __devm_iio_device_register+0x22/0x80 [industrialio] [<00000000730d7b41>] adjd_s311_probe+0x195/0x200 [adjd_s311] [<00000000c0f70eb9>] i2c_device_probe+0xa07/0xbb0
The iio_buffer_register_legacy_sysfs_groups() is called in __iio_buffer_alloc_sysfs_and_mask(), so move the iio_buffer_unregister_legacy_sysfs_groups() into __iio_buffer_free_sysfs_and_mask(), then the memory will be freed.
