[PATCH v2] fsi: Aspeed: Fix a potential double free

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A struct device can never be devm_alloc()'ed.
Here, it is embedded in "struct fsi_master", and "struct fsi_master" is
embedded in "struct fsi_master_aspeed".

Since "struct device" is embedded, the data structure embedding it must be
released with the release function, as is already done here.

So use kzalloc() instead of devm_kzalloc() when allocating "aspeed".
This prevent a potential double free().
