commit332e0e17adupstream. comedi_open() invokes comedi_dev_get_from_minor(), which returns a reference of the COMEDI device to "dev" with increased refcount. When comedi_open() returns, "dev" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of comedi_open(). When "cfp" allocation is failed, the refcnt increased by comedi_dev_get_from_minor() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling comedi_dev_put() on this error path when "cfp" allocation is failed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
