The can_net device is allocated through kvzalloc(), if the subsequent probe
cases fail to initialize, it should free the can_net device that has been
successfully allocated before.

To fix below memory leaks call trace:

Your analysis is correct, the netdev_priv() will never fail. But how
will this trigger a mem leak on alloc_candev()? I've removed that
statement. I'll add it back, if I've missed something.

Applied to linux-can-next/testing.

Thanks,

Hi Marc,

The previous code judges the netdev_priv is empty, and then goto out. 
The correct approach should add free_candev(net_dev) before goto.

The code Like:

         class_dev = netdev_priv(net_dev);
         if (!class_dev) {
                 dev_err(dev, "Failed to init netdev cdevate");
+               free_candev(net_dev);
                 goto out;
         }

Otherwise, memory leaks for alloc_candev() will be triggered.

Now directly remove the impossible error return judgment to resolve the above possible issue.

Thanks
