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.
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.

Currently the return value of 'sub_driver->init' is not checked. If sparse_keymap_setup() called in the init function fails, 'generic_ inputdev' is freed, then it will lead a UAF when using it in generic_ acpi_laptop_init(). Fix it by checking the return value and setting generic_inputdev to NULL after free, so as to avoid double free it. The error code in generic_subdriver_init() is always negative, so the return of generic_subdriver_init() can be simplified.
