From: Kautuk Consul <consul.kautuk@xxxxxxxxx> There are 2 situations wherein the xhci_ring* might not get freed: - When xhci_ring_alloc() -> xhci_segment_alloc() returns NULL and we goto the fail: label in xhci_ring_alloc. In this case, the ring will not get kfreed. - When the num_segs argument to xhci_ring_alloc is passed as 0 and we try to free the rung after that. ( This doesn't really happen as of now in the code but we seem to be entertaining num_segs=0 in xhci_ring_alloc ) This should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31.
