Subject: [PATCH 0/4] fix a memory leak related to request_mem_region/release_mem_region usage
Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 16:42:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1290415359.5471.4.camel@mola> (raw)
This serial of patches fixes a memory leak related to request_mem_region
and release_mem_region usage.
request_mem_region() will call kzalloc to allocate memory for struct resource.
release_resource() unregisters the resource but does not free the allocated
memory, thus use release_mem_region() instead to fix the memory leak.
Axel Lin (4):
[ARM] davinci_mmc: fix a memory leak
[ARM] mvsdio: fix a memory leak
[ARM] pxamci: fix a memory leak
[ARM] mxcmmc: remove a unnecessary release_resource() call
