[PATCH 1/1] mcb: fix error handling in mcb_alloc_bus()

From: Johannes Thumshirn
Date: Mon Sep 06 2021 - 08:36:09 EST


From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

There are two bugs:
1) If ida_simple_get() fails then this code calls put_device(carrier)
but we haven't yet called get_device(carrier) and probably that
leads to a use after free.
2) After device_initialize() then we need to use put_device() to
release the bus. This will free the internal resources tied to the
device and call mcb_free_bus() which will free the rest.

Fixes: 5d9e2ab9fea4 ("mcb: Implement bus->dev.release callback")
Fixes: 18d288198099 ("mcb: Correctly initialize the bus's device")
