mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix error path in blktrans_open
The 'blktrans_open()' does not handle possible '__get_mtd_device()' failures because it does not check the error code. Moreover, the 'dev->tr->open()' failures are not handled correctly because in this case the function just goes ahead and gets the mtd device, then returns an error. But Instead, it should _not_ try to get the mtd device, then it should put back the module and the kref. This patch fixes the issue. Note, I only compile-tested it. This patch was inspired by a bug report about a similar issue in 2.6.34 kernels sent by Mike Turner <admin@islandsoftware.co.uk> to the MTD mailing list: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-April/034980.htmlSigned-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
