[PATCH 4.9 07/93] brcmfmac: fix memleak due to calling brcmf_sdiod_sgtable_alloc() twice

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arend Van Spriel <arend.vanspriel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5f5d03143de5e0c593da4ab18fc6393c2815e108 upstream.

Due to a bugfix in wireless tree and the commit mentioned below a merge
was needed which went haywire. So the submitted change resulted in the
function brcmf_sdiod_sgtable_alloc() being called twice during the probe
thus leaking the memory of the first call.
