[PATCH] EDAC, thunderx: memory leak in thunderx_l2c_threaded_isr()

[PATCH] EDAC, thunderx: memory leak in thunderx_l2c_threaded_isr()

[Dan Carpenter]

I found this memory leak with static analysis, but it looks like it
might be pretty bad because it affects the success path.

Fixes: 41003396f932 ("EDAC, thunderx: Add Cavium ThunderX EDAC driver")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
---
It's also possible that I have misread the code.  It seems like an
obvious fix but I haven't tested it.

Applied, thanks.

Jan, David, as a further cleanup, you could consider moving that
allocation out of the ISR...

Thx.

[-David who left Cavium]

Hi Boris,

the allocations happen only in the threaded function handlers, not in
hard IRQ context, is that still an issue?

thanks,
Jan

Nah, I take that back. I'm being told you can do almost everything in
threaded handler context! :-)

Thx.
