This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mtd: mtdpart: fix add_mtd_partitions error path to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11-ckt31.

For more information about the 3.13.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 4e9e0c873f59ee361786382ee1e6775f4d2be7ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris BREZILLON <boris.brezillon@free-electrons.com> Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:18:03 +0200 Subject: mtd: mtdpart: fix add_mtd_partitions error path commit e5bae86797141e4a95e42d825f737cb36d7b8c37 upstream. If we fail to allocate a partition structure in the middle of the partition creation process, the already allocated partitions are never removed, which means they are still present in the partition list and their resources are never freed.
