patch "uio_hv_generic: Fix another memory leak in error handling paths" added to char-misc-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

uio_hv_generic: Fix another memory leak in error handling paths

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: 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.
