If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 20f4dba681ac452cf1707c1447dc8417f93b1cf1 Author: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Oct 4 06:19:31 2020 -0700 mwifiex: fix double free [ Upstream commit 53708f4fd9cfe389beab5c8daa763bcd0e0b4aef ] clang static analysis reports this problem: sdio.c:2403:3: warning: Attempt to free released memory kfree(card->mpa_rx.buf); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When mwifiex_init_sdio() fails in its first call to mwifiex_alloc_sdio_mpa_buffer, it falls back to calling it again. If the second alloc of mpa_tx.buf fails, the error handler will try to free the old, previously freed mpa_rx.buf. Reviewing the code, it looks like a second double free would happen with mwifiex_cleanup_sdio(). So set both pointers to NULL when they are freed.
