Message-ID: <20150528090227.GA13248@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Luis R. Rodriguez,
The patch f9692b2699bd: "firmware: fix possible use after free on
name on asynchronous request" from May 12, 2015, leads to the
following static checker warning:
drivers/base/firmware_class.c:1311 request_firmware_nowait()
warn: possible memory leak of 'fw_work'
drivers/base/firmware_class.c
1296 int
1297 request_firmware_nowait(
1298 struct module *module, bool uevent,
1299 const char *name, struct device *device, gfp_t gfp, void *context,
1300 void (*cont)(const struct firmware *fw, void *context))
1301 {
1302 struct firmware_work *fw_work;
1303
1304 fw_work = kzalloc(sizeof(struct firmware_work), gfp);
1305 if (!fw_work)
1306 return -ENOMEM;
1307
1308 fw_work->module = module;
1309 fw_work->name = kstrdup_const(name, gfp);
1310 if (!fw_work->name)
kfree(fw_work).
1311 return -ENOMEM;
1312 fw_work->device = device;
1313 fw_work->context = context;
1314 fw_work->cont = cont;
1315 fw_work->opt_flags = FW_OPT_NOWAIT | FW_OPT_FALLBACK |
1316 (uevent ? FW_OPT_UEVENT : FW_OPT_USERHELPER);
1317
1318 if (!try_module_get(module)) {
1319 kfree_const(fw_work->name);
1320 kfree(fw_work);
1321 return -EFAULT;
1322 }
1323
1324 get_device(fw_work->device);
1325 INIT_WORK(&fw_work->work, request_firmware_work_func);
1326 schedule_work(&fw_work->work);
1327 return 0;
1328 }
regards,
