From e027a2dea5fdde05740a98f571fc2903060559ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wenwen Wang Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2019 16:00:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] hwmon (coretemp) Fix a memory leak bug In coretemp_init(), 'zone_devices' is allocated through kcalloc(). However, it is not deallocated in the following execution if platform_driver_register() fails, leading to a memory leak. To fix this issue, introduce the 'outzone' label to free 'zone_devices' before returning the error.
