 A few months ago our 2.6.39 based kernel started crashing almost 100%
 of the time when running the selftests, after seeminly unrelated kernel
 changes. In the end it was traced down to this use after free.

 Whilst here fix an error path memory leak.

 Thanks,

 Steve

 Hi Steve, thanks for the patches. We'll look into them and let you know if
 there is anything extra needed.

Looking at the 3.7-rc code, it looks like the use-after-free is still there.
Any plans on merging these patches?

Hi Roland,
The above changes are applicable to other bsg calls also, the changes are
under test and will be submitted in the next submission.

Thanks,
