    genetlink: fix a memory leak on error path · 00ffc1ba
    WANG Cong authored
    In __genl_register_family(), when genl_validate_assign_mc_groups()
    fails, we forget to free the memory we possibly allocate for
    family->attrbuf.
    
    Note, some callers call genl_unregister_family() to clean up
    on error path, it doesn't work because the family is inserted
    to the global list in the nearly last step.
