When 'kzalloc()' fails in 'snd_hda_attach_pcm_stream()', a new pcm instance is created without setting its operators via 'snd_pcm_set_ops()'. Following operations on the new pcm instance can trigger kernel null pointer dereferences and cause kernel oops. This bug was found with my work on building a gray-box fault-injection tool for linux-kernel-module binaries. A kernel null pointer dereference was confirmed from line 'substream->ops->open()' in function 'snd_pcm_open_substream()' in file 'sound/core/pcm_native.c'. This patch fixes the bug by calling 'snd_device_free()' in the error handling path of 'kzalloc()', which removes the new pcm instance from the snd card before returns with an error code.

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.
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.
