From c453615f77aa51593c1c9c9031b4278797d3fd19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:00:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (fschmd) Fix a memleak on multiple opens of /dev/watchdog When /dev/watchdog gets opened a second time we return -EBUSY, but we already have got a kref then, so we end up leaking our data struct.
