dmirror_device_init() calls device_initialize() which sets the device
reference count to 1, but fails to call put_device() when error occurs
after dev_set_name() or cdev_device_add() failures. This results in
memory leaks of struct device objects. Additionally,
dmirror_device_remove() lacks the final put_device() call to properly
release the device reference.

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 reStructuredText 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.
