From e609ccef5222c73b46b322be7d3796d60bff353d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Shishkin Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:04:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] intel_th: Don't leak module refcount on failure to activate Output 'activation' may fail for the reasons of the output driver, for example, if msc's buffer is not allocated. We forget, however, to drop the module reference in this case. So each attempt at activation in this case leaks a reference, preventing the module from ever unloading. This patch adds the missing module_put() in the activation error path.
