I'm so sorry for that:(

Thanks for your advice, I'll do it.

The new patch , which has been compile-checked, is here:

Description:
Because malloc/kzalloc may fail, we should check kmalloc/kzalloc return value 
 in sm_create_sysfs_attributes(), mtd/sm_rtl.c and do error handling.
Meanwhile, we should check sm_create_sysfs_attributes return value.
