If 'chan->dev = kzalloc()' fails, there is no need to explicitly call 'free_percpu()'. It is already called in the error handling path. So it can be removed. While at it, add a 'chan->local = NULL;' in the error handling path after the 'free_percpu()' call. It is maybe useless, but can not hurt.

I added it if the move of the 'chan->local = NULL;' makes a real sense. --- drivers/dma/dmaengine.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma/dmaengine.c b/drivers/dma/dmaengine.c index c3b1283b6d31..6bb6e88c6019 100644 --- a/drivers/dma/dmaengine.c +++ b/drivers/dma/dmaengine.c @@ -978,11 +978,8 @@ static int __dma_async_device_channel_register(struct dma_device *device, if (!chan->local) goto err_out; chan->dev = kzalloc(sizeof(*chan->dev), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!chan->dev) { - free_percpu(chan->local); - chan->local = NULL; + if (!chan->dev) goto err_out; - } /* * When the chan_id is a negative value, we are dynamically adding @@ -1008,6 +1005,7 @@ static int __dma_async_device_channel_register(struct dma_device *device, err_out: free_percpu(chan->local); + chan->local = NULL; kfree(chan->dev); if (atomic_dec_return(idr_ref) == 0) kfree(idr_ref); -- 2.20.1
