Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the report. Checking elixir it shows two call sites to
brcmf_sdiod_sgtable_alloc() [1]. This is rather unexpected. We did move
the call so this might be a merge issue.

4d7928959 sdio.c (Hante Meuleman   2016-02-17 11:27:07 +0100:
3867)     brcmf_sdiod_sgtable_alloc(sdiodev);

e0045bf80 sdio.c (Hante Meuleman   2016-01-19 12:39:24 +0100:
4180)     brcmf_sdiod_sgtable_alloc(bus->sdiodev);

The most recent change is:

commit 4d7928959832 ("brcmfmac: switch to new platform data") found in
patchwork [2], which shows the added call, but no removal so the merge
issue is probably internal with us (me :-( ).

Again thanks for the report. Below change should fix the issue.

Yes, this fixed the leak. Thanks for you fast reply.

do you plan to send a proper patch for this?

Sure. Catching up after my vacation.

Regards,
Arend
