Subject: [PATCH] fix memory leak in ramoops_init
Date:   Mon, 17 Sep 2018 17:15:31 +0800
Message-ID: <20180917091531.21356-1-nixiaoming@huawei.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

1, memory leak in ramoops_register_dummy.
   dummy_data = kzalloc(sizeof(*dummy_data), GFP_KERNEL);
   but no free when platform_device_register_data return fail

2, if kzalloc(sizeof(*dummy_data), GFP_KERNEL) return NULL,
    but platform_driver_register(&ramoops_driver) return 0
   kfree(NULL) in ramoops_exit
so, add return val for ramoops_register_dummy, and check it in ramoops_init

3, memory leak in ramoops_init.
   miss platform_device_unregister(dummy) and kfree(dummy_data)
   when platform_driver_register(&ramoops_driver) return fail
