[PATCH] ALSA: pcmcia: Fix resource leak in snd_pdacf_probe error path
Posted by Haotian Zhang 9 hours ago
When pdacf_config() fails, snd_pdacf_probe() returns the error code
directly without freeing the sound card resources allocated by
snd_card_new(), which leads to a memory leak.

Add proper error handling to free the sound card and clear the card
list entry when pdacf_config() fails.
