Subject: USB: serial: fix potential use-after-free after failed probe
X-Git-Url: http://git.mmlx.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9fd948c1b776066a84386d146f3a4e848b976bd5;p=linux-edison.git

USB: serial: fix potential use-after-free after failed probe

commit 07fdfc5e9f1c966be8722e8fa927e5ea140df5ce upstream.

Fix return value in probe error path, which could end up returning
success (0) on errors. This could in turn lead to use-after-free or
double free (e.g. in port_remove) when the port device is removed.

Fixes: c706ebdfc895 ("USB: usb-serial: call port_probe and port_remove
at the right times")
