Subject: [PATCH] regulator: palmas: Fix wrong kfree calls
Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 20:55:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337604940.11739.1.camel@phoenix> (raw)
The devm_kzalloc function eliminates the need for manual resource releasing
and simplify error handling. Resources allocated by devm_* are freed
automatically on driver detach.
Thus adding kfree calls here will introduce double free bug.
The memory of desc array and the pointers to the rdev[] are allocated by
devm_kzalloc call for struct palmas_pmic.
struct palmas_pmic {
struct palmas *palmas;
struct device *dev;
struct regulator_desc desc[PALMAS_NUM_REGS];
struct regulator_dev *rdev[PALMAS_NUM_REGS];
struct mutex mutex;
int smps123;
int smps457;
int range[PALMAS_REG_SMPS10];
};
Which means we should not call kfree for pmic->rdev and pmic->desc.
