Hello Mauro,
on Mon, 28 Sep 2009 Johann Friedrichs sent a patch to linux-media in
order to fix a memory leak in my saa7146 driver.
He contacted me and together we have come up with a new patch that fixes
the problem more explicitely.
Would you please be so kind and manually pick up this patch and provide
it upstream?
All kudos belong to Johann Friedrich for finding the bug and providing
the initial fix.
Best regards
Michael Hunold.
V4L: saa7146: fix memory leak when buffer properties change or buffer
is released
From: Johann Friedrichs <johann.friedrichs@xxxxxx>
In buffer_release() the previously allocated pagetables are not
freed, which might result in a memory leak in certain application
use-cases, where the frame format is changed from planar format to
non-planar format. The fix explicitely frees the page tables when a
format change is done and when buffer_release() is called.
