[PATCH v2] driver: uio: fix possible memory leak and use-after-free in __uio_register_device

From: liujian
Date: Thu Jan 03 2019 - 23:18:52 EST


'idev' is malloced in __uio_register_device() and leak free it before
leaving from the uio_get_minor() error handing case, it will cause
memory leak.

Also, in uio_dev_add_attributes() error handing case, idev is used after
device_unregister(), in which 'idev' has been released, touch idev cause
use-after-free.

Fixes: a93e7b331568 ("uio: Prevent device destruction while fds are open")
Fixes: e6789cd3dfb5 ("uio: Simplify uio error path by using devres
functions")
