Re-reading a recently merged fix to the raw_gadget driver showed that
it inadvertently introduced a double-free bug in a failure pathway.
If raw_ioctl_init() encounters an error after the driver ID number has
been allocated, it deallocates the ID number before returning. But
when dev_free() runs later on, it will then try to deallocate the ID
number a second time.
Closely related to this issue is another error in the recent fix: The
ID number is stored in the raw_dev structure before the code checks to
see whether the structure has already been initialized, in which case
the new ID number would overwrite the earlier value.
The solution to both bugs is to keep the new ID number in a local
variable, and store it in the raw_dev structure only after the check
for prior initialization. No errors can occur after that point, so
the double-free will never happen.

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.
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.
