[PATCH] wifi: rt2x00: Fix memory leak when handling surveys

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

 



When removing a rt2x00 device, its associated channel surveys
are not freed, causing a memory leak observable with kmemleak:

unreferenced object 0xffff9620f0881a00 (size 512):
  comm "systemd-udevd", pid 2290, jiffies 4294906974 (age 33.768s)

Fix this by freeing the channel surveys on device removal.

Tested with a RT3070 based USB wireless adapter.
