[PATCH] ath11k: Fix some resource leaks in error path in 'ath11k_thermal_register()'

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

 



If 'thermal_cooling_device_register()' fails, we must undo what has been
allocated so far. So we must go to 'err_thermal_destroy' instead of
returning directly

In case of error in 'ath11k_thermal_register()', the previous
'thermal_cooling_device_register()' call must also be undone. Move the
'ar->thermal.cdev = cdev' a few lines above in order for this to be done
in 'ath11k_thermal_unregister()' which is called in the error handling
path.

I'm not 100% confident with this patch.

- When calling 'ath11k_thermal_unregister()', we try to release some
  resources that have not been allocated yet. I don't know if it can be an
  issue or not.
- I think that we should propagate the error code, instead of forcing
  -EINVAL.
