The following patch introduced an issue. dmaengine: mic_x100_dma: use the new helper to simplify the code This issue is : kfree(mic_dma_dev) ..... dma_async_device_unregister(mic_dma_dev->device); Free the memory, and use it again. So use devm_kzalloc to allocate mic_dma_dev. When the Devres try to release the resources, it will call release at the following order: dma_async_device_unregister(mic_dma_dev->device); ..... kfree(mic_dma_dev) Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie <sjhuang@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/dma/mic_x100_dma.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma/mic_x100_dma.c b/drivers/dma/mic_x100_dma.c index b76cb17d879c..adfd316db1a8 100644 --- a/drivers/dma/mic_x100_dma.c +++ b/drivers/dma/mic_x100_dma.c @@ -639,7 +639,7 @@ static struct mic_dma_device *mic_dma_dev_reg(struct mbus_device *mbdev, int ret; struct device *dev = &mbdev->dev; - mic_dma_dev = kzalloc(sizeof(*mic_dma_dev), GFP_KERNEL); + mic_dma_dev = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*mic_dma_dev), GFP_KERNEL); if (!mic_dma_dev) { ret = -ENOMEM; goto alloc_error; @@ -664,7 +664,6 @@ static struct mic_dma_device *mic_dma_dev_reg(struct mbus_device *mbdev, reg_error: mic_dma_uninit(mic_dma_dev); init_error: - kfree(mic_dma_dev); mic_dma_dev = NULL; alloc_error: dev_err(dev, "Error at %s %d ret=%d\n", __func__, __LINE__, ret); @@ -674,7 +673,6 @@ static struct mic_dma_device *mic_dma_dev_reg(struct mbus_device *mbdev, static void mic_dma_dev_unreg(struct mic_dma_device *mic_dma_dev) { mic_dma_uninit(mic_dma_dev); - kfree(mic_dma_dev); } /* DEBUGFS CODE */ -- 2.17.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dmaengine" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
