Series | gpiolib: fix freeing of descriptors on error | expand |
Hi Jim I have sent an identical patch 3 hours before you [1] ;) Seems that we are working on the same stuff.

Haha w00t but I'm grateful that you fine people are taking the chardev ABI for a ride! I recorded Jim's contribution as Reported-by on your patch. Yours, Linus Walleij

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.
