[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: usb-midi: fix a memory leak bug

[Wenwen Wang]

In __snd_usbmidi_create(), a MIDI streaming interface structure is
allocated through kzalloc() and the pointer is saved to 'umidi'. Later on,
the endpoint structures are created by invoking
snd_usbmidi_create_endpoints_midiman() or snd_usbmidi_create_endpoints(),
depending on the type of the audio quirk type. However, if the creation
fails, the allocated 'umidi' is not deallocated, leading to a memory leak
bug.

To fix the above issue, free 'umidi' before returning the error.
