This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mwl8k: Fix a double Free in mwl8k_probe_hw to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mwl8k-fix-a-double-free-in-mwl8k_probe_hw.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d746ec47e1da27d217f65a13900424c90d59c275 Author: Lv Yunlong <lyl2019@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 2 11:26:27 2021 -0700 mwl8k: Fix a double Free in mwl8k_probe_hw [ Upstream commit a8e083ee8e2a6c94c29733835adae8bf5b832748 ] In mwl8k_probe_hw, hw->priv->txq is freed at the first time by dma_free_coherent() in the call chain: if(!priv->ap_fw)->mwl8k_init_txqs(hw)->mwl8k_txq_init(hw, i). Then in err_free_queues of mwl8k_probe_hw, hw->priv->txq is freed at the second time by mwl8k_txq_deinit(hw, i)->dma_free_coherent(). My patch set txq->txd to NULL after the first free to avoid the double free.
