Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: fix freeing of descriptors on error
Date:   Thu, 13 Sep 2018 12:35:41 -0400
Message-Id: <20180913163541.7364-1-jim@jtan.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

When the main loop in linehandle_create() encounters an error, it
fails to free one of the previously-requested GPIO descriptors.
This renders the unfreed GPIO unusable until reboot, and leaves
its label pointing to free'd kernel memory.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: ab3dbcf78f60 ("gpioib: do not free unrequested descriptors")
