Hi,
Can some one tell me if that memory allocated by these functions is
freed when the last reference (pointer) to the MEMORY goes out of
scope, or when the last reference to the DEVICE is put?
For instance:
probe()
{
ptr = devm_kzalloc(dev, ....)
ptr = devm_kzalloc(dev,.....)
}
The reference to the first memory goes away as soon as I make the
second call, but the device stays around. So when is the first memory
freed? At the second call or at the device removal time?
Thanks,
Rajat
