[PATCH] staging: r8188eu: change the allocation type of pdata_attr

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

 



From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

`pdata_attr` was allocated by kzalloc() in go_add_group_info_attr(), but
there is a lack of error handlers along the call chain it lies and the
lifetime of `pdata_attr` is only in go_add_group_info_attr().
Therefore, changing it to a local variable on stack like the other
functions in rtw_p2p.c is a possible choice, such as
`u8 p2pie[MAX_P2P_IE_LEN] = { 0x00 };` in build_probe_resp_p2p_ie()
which is the caller of go_add_group_info_attr().
