Subject: Re: [PATCH] drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-at91.c: convert kfree to devm_kfree
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:22:44 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1212121521590.1995@hadrien> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121212115624.GI4398@game.jcrosoft.org>
From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>
The function at91_dt_node_to_map is ultimately called by the function
pinctrl_get, which is an exported function. Since it is possible that this
function is not called from within a probe function, for safety, the kfree
is converted to a devm_kfree, to both free the data and remove it from the
device in a failure situation.
Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>

v2: Drop cleanup of the call to devm_kzalloc at the same time.
