| |
Hi Linus,
Please take this pull request for v6.7-rc4 release. It includes a slight change to fix scarce memory leak.
As I noted in pull request for v6.7[1], Linux FireWire subsystem still has an issue of unexpected system reboot in AMD Ryzen machine with a kind of PCI card. Recently I got a help of AMD developer[2] and got some advices to investigate the mechanism of system reboot, but never catch its tail yet... I wish to fix it within the development period for v6.8 kernel.

firewire: core: fix possible memory leak in create_units() (2023-11-30 09:16:35 +0900)
---------------------------------------------------------------- firewire fixes for 6.7-rc4
This pull request includes a single patch to fix long-standing issue of memory leak at failure of device registration for fw_unit. We rarely encounter the issue, while it should be applied to stable releases, since it fixes inappropriate API usage.
