In snd_soc_dapm_new_control_unlocked(), a kernel buffer is allocated in dapm_cnew_widget() to hold the new dapm widget. Then, different actions are taken according to the id of the widget, i.e., 'w->id'. If any failure occurs during this process, snd_soc_dapm_new_control_unlocked() should be terminated by going to the 'request_failed' label. However, the allocated kernel buffer is not freed on this code path, leading to a memory leak bug. To fix the above issue, free the buffer before returning from snd_soc_dapm_new_control_unlocked() through the 'request_failed' label.

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.
