From: Christophe JAILLET christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Date: Sun, 9 May 2021 09:13:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] uio_hv_generic: Fix another memory leak in error handling paths
Memory allocated by 'vmbus_alloc_ring()' at the beginning of the probe function is never freed in the error handling path.
Add the missing 'vmbus_free_ring()' call.
Note that it is already freed in the .remove function.
