commit ab3dbcf78f60f46d6a0ad63b1f4b690b7a427140 upstream. If the main loop in linehandle_create() encounters an error, it unwinds completely by freeing all previously requested GPIO descriptors. However, if the error occurs in the beginning of the loop before that GPIO is requested, then the exit code attempts to free a null descriptor. If extrachecks is enabled, gpiod_free() triggers a WARN_ON. Instead, keep a separate count of legitimate GPIOs so that only those are freed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
