'buf' is locale to the ice_sched_init_port() function. There is no point in using devm_kzalloc()/devm_kfree(). use kzalloc()/kfree() instead. Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- As a side effect, it also require less memory. devm_kzalloc() has a small memory overhead, and requesting ICE_AQ_MAX_BUF_LEN (i.e. 4096) bytes, 8192 are really allocated. --- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c index 7947223536e3..118595763bba 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c @@ -1212,7 +1212,7 @@ int ice_sched_init_port(struct ice_port_info *pi) hw = pi->hw; /* Query the Default Topology from FW */ - buf = devm_kzalloc(ice_hw_to_dev(hw), ICE_AQ_MAX_BUF_LEN, GFP_KERNEL); + buf = kzalloc(ICE_AQ_MAX_BUF_LEN, GFP_KERNEL); if (!buf) return -ENOMEM; @@ -1290,7 +1290,7 @@ int ice_sched_init_port(struct ice_port_info *pi) pi->root = NULL; } - devm_kfree(ice_hw_to_dev(hw), buf); + kfree(buf); return status; } -- 2.34.1
