Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] iio: adc: ad799x: use a static buffer for scan data
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 14:57:13 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318092715.42538-3-architanant5@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318092715.42538-1-architanant5@gmail.com>
Currently, rx_buf is dynamically allocated using kmalloc() every time
ad799x_update_scan_mode() is called. This can lead to memory leaks if
the scan mask is updated multiple times.
Drop the dynamic allocation and replace it with a static buffer at the
end of the state structure using IIO_DECLARE_BUFFER_WITH_TS().
This eliminates the allocation overhead, prevents leaks, and removes
the need for manual kfree() on driver removal.
