Subject: [PATCH] gdrom: fix a memory leak bug
Date:   Wed, 26 Dec 2018 20:15:13 -0600
Message-Id: <1545876914-11283-1-git-send-email-wang6495@umn.edu>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In probe_gdrom(), the buffer pointed by 'gd.cd_info' is allocated through
kzalloc() and is used to hold the information of the gdrom device. To
register and unregister the device, the pointer 'gd.cd_info' is passed to
the functions register_cdrom() and unregister_cdrom(), respectively.
However, this buffer is not freed after it is used, which can cause a
memory leak bug.

This patch simply frees the buffer 'gd.cd_info' in exit_gdrom() to fix the
above issue.
