Subject: [PATCH v2 01/10] platform/x86: classmate-laptop: Address memory leaks on driver removal
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 22:03:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <10846403.nUPlyArG6x@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3415394.44csPzL39Z@rafael.j.wysocki>

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Switch over cmpc_accel_add_v4() and cmpc_accel_add() to using
devm_kzalloc() for allocating the accel object which will cause it
to be freed automatically on device removal, so it won't be leaked
any more.

This also simplifies the rollback paths in these functions somewhat.

Fixes: 529aa8cb0a59 ("classmate-laptop: add support for Classmate PC ACPI devices")
Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
---

v1 -> v2:
   * Use devm_kzalloc() for allocating memory at probe time instead of adding
     kfree() calls to remove callbacks.
