Subject: [Patch] Driver core: Fix error handling in bus_add_driver().
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:04:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080218170425.56d03e37@gondolin.boeblingen.de.ibm.com> (raw)

- If the allocation of ->priv fails, the reference on the bus
  must be dropped.
- If adding the kobject fails, kobject_put must be called to
  clean things up.
