This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled power_supply: twl4030_madc: Check return value of power_supply_register to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt11. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 585a8e52b5f1a0acbda0c637b8db3ed650f39c3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@samsung.com> Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 14:32:22 +0100 Subject: power_supply: twl4030_madc: Check return value of power_supply_register commit 68c3ed6fa7e0d69529ced772d650ab128916a81d upstream. The return value of power_supply_register() call was not checked and even on error probe() function returned 0. If registering failed then during unbind the driver tried to unregister power supply which was not actually registered. This could lead to memory corruption because power_supply_unregister() unconditionally cleans up given power supply.
