Subject: [PATCH 1/4] staging: rtl8723bs: free HalData with vfree, not kfree
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:25:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729022509.2863634-2-cong.yi@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729022509.2863634-1-cong.yi@linux.dev>
From: Yi Cong <yicong@kylinos.cn>
In the probe error path of rtw_sdio_if1_init(), HalData is released with
kfree(), but it is allocated with vzalloc() in rtw_hal_data_init(). Freeing
a vmalloc allocation with kfree() is undefined behaviour and can corrupt
the allocator.
Use rtw_hal_data_deinit() instead, which calls vfree() and is the matching
deallocator used on the normal tear-down path. It also NULLs the pointer
and clears hal_data_sz, making it safe to call here.
Fixes: 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")
