This knob is to control the behavior of the TDM framework with respect to handling the received TDM frames. The framework layer receives the TDM frames from the TDM adapter driver, de-interleaves the data and sends to respective client modules. In the case when the TDM client module has not consumed the data and emptied the Buffer, this flag decides whether to discard the un-fetched data, or discard the latest received data. > > > +int tdm_sysfs_init(void) > > +{ > > + struct kobject *tdm_kobj; > > + int err = 1; > > + tdm_kobj = kzalloc(sizeof(*tdm_kobj), GFP_KERNEL); > > + if (tdm_kobj) { > > + kobject_init(tdm_kobj, &tdm_type); > > + if (kobject_add(tdm_kobj, NULL, "%s", "tdm")) { > > + pr_err("tdm: Sysfs creation failed\n"); > > + kobject_put(tdm_kobj); > > + err = -EINVAL; > > + goto out; > > + } > > + } else { > > + pr_err("tdm: Unable to allocate tdm_kobj\n"); > > + err = -ENOMEM; > > + goto out; > > + } > > + > > +out: > > + return err; > > +} > > You just leaked memory, what are you trying to do here? > > And why are you using "raw" kobjects?

This is a framework layer, not associated to a particular device. TDM adapter drivers will register to this framework.

Apologize for asking a review in the merge window time frame. Are there any guidelines when to send something for a review? We will be careful next time.
