From a2a9b1eceb50993ef9e126dffc2f678fd6602158 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 22:03:42 -0300 Subject: V4L/DVB (7035): drivers/media/common: Add missing video_device_release Video_device_alloc returns the result of a kzalloc. In this case, the value is stored in a local variable which is not copied elsewhere before the point of the error return (video_register_device does not save its first argument anywhere if it returns a negative value). Thus, a video_device_release it needed before the error return. The problem was found using the following semantic match.
