The flow may reach the err label without freeing cl and cl_info cl and cl_info weren't assigned to ndev->cl and cl_info so they weren't freed in mei_nfc_free called on error path Cc: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com> --- drivers/misc/mei/nfc.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.2
