Subject: [PATCH] media: dvb-core: fix a memory leak bug
Date:   Sat, 17 Aug 2019 22:45:40 -0500
Message-Id: <1566099942-2290-1-git-send-email-wenwen@cs.uga.edu>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In dvb_create_media_entity(), 'dvbdev->entity' is allocated through
kzalloc(). Then, 'dvbdev->pads' is allocated through kcalloc(). However, if
kcalloc() fails, the allocated 'dvbdev->entity' is not deallocated, leading
to a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, free 'dvbdev->entity' before
returning -ENOMEM.
