Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm/of_pmem: Add check and kfree for kstrdup

Add check for the return value of kstrdup() and return the error
if it fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
Moreover, use kfree() in the later error handling in order to avoid
memory leak.

Fixes: 49bddc73d15c ("libnvdimm/of_pmem: Provide a unique name for bus provider")

Nice catch!

However, this free needs to happen in of_pmem_region_remove() as well.

Looks like the mail from my phone had html in it. Sorry for that.

This would be better with devm_kstrdup() and then we don't have to worry
about the kfree at all.

Looks good.
I have submitted a new patch "libnvdimm/of_pmem: Replace kstrdup with devm_kstrdup and add check".
Since the titie has been modified, I did not submitted a v2.

Ah ok... But looks like we will need a v3. See the other email.

Thanks again for trying to fix this,
