Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (acpi_power_meter) clean up freeing code
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2020 10:51:48 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201007075148.GB2529578@mwanda> (raw)
This code works okay but Smatch flagged it as a double free. I've
changed three things to make it more clear. 1) Remove the call to
free_capabilities() in acpi_power_meter_add(). This call is a no-op
because the capabilities have not been allocated yet. 2) Set "*str" to
NULL in free_capabilities() so that way the function can be called twice
in a row without leading to a double free. 3) Call free_capabilities()
in read_capabilities() instead of open coding the free.
