'bus->mii_bus' has been allocated with 'devm_mdiobus_alloc_size()' in the probe function. So it must not be freed explicitly or there will be a double free. Remove the incorrect 'mdiobus_free' in the error handling path of the probe function and in remove function. Suggested-By: Andrew Lunn <andrew@xxxxxxx> Fixes: 35d2aeac9810 ("phy: mdio-octeon: Use devm_mdiobus_alloc_size()") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The 'smi_en.u64 = 0; oct_mdio_writeq()' looks odd to me. Usually the normal path and the error handling path don't write the same value. Here, both write 0. Having '1' somewhere would 'look' more usual. :) More over I think that 'smi_en.s.en = 1;' in the probe is useless. I don't know what this code is supposed to do, so I leave it as-is. But it looks like a left-over from a6d678645210. --- drivers/net/mdio/mdio-octeon.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/mdio/mdio-octeon.c b/drivers/net/mdio/mdio-octeon.c index 8ce99c4888e1..e096e68ac667 100644 --- a/drivers/net/mdio/mdio-octeon.c +++ b/drivers/net/mdio/mdio-octeon.c @@ -71,7 +71,6 @@ static int octeon_mdiobus_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) return 0; fail_register: - mdiobus_free(bus->mii_bus); smi_en.u64 = 0; oct_mdio_writeq(smi_en.u64, bus->register_base + SMI_EN); return err; @@ -85,7 +84,6 @@ static int octeon_mdiobus_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) bus = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); mdiobus_unregister(bus->mii_bus); - mdiobus_free(bus->mii_bus); smi_en.u64 = 0; oct_mdio_writeq(smi_en.u64, bus->register_base + SMI_EN); return 0; -- 2.30.2
