[PATCH v2 2/2] staging: vchiq_arm: Utilize devm_kzalloc() for allocation

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

 



The struct drv_mgmt 'mgmt' is currently allocated dynamically using
kzalloc(). Unfortunately, it is subjected to memory leaks in the error
handling paths of the probe() function.

To address this issue, use device resource management
helper devm_kzalloc(), to ensure cleanup after the allocation.
