From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7e8453e35e406981d7c529ff8f804285bc894ba3 ] clang static analyzer reports this problem mac.c:6204:2: warning: Attempt to free released memory kfree(ar->mac.sbands[NL80211_BAND_2GHZ].channels); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The channels pointer is allocated in ath11k_mac_setup_channels_rates() When it fails midway, it cleans up the memory it has already allocated. So the error handling needs to skip freeing the memory. There is a second problem. ath11k_mac_setup_channels_rates(), allocates 3 channels. err_free misses releasing ar->mac.sbands[NL80211_BAND_6GHZ].channels Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices") Signed-off-by: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200906212625.17059-1-trix@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c index 2836a0f197ab0..fc5be7e8c043e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c @@ -5824,7 +5824,7 @@ static int __ath11k_mac_register(struct ath11k *ar) ret = ath11k_mac_setup_channels_rates(ar, cap->supported_bands); if (ret) - goto err_free; + goto err; ath11k_mac_setup_ht_vht_cap(ar, cap, &ht_cap); ath11k_mac_setup_he_cap(ar, cap); @@ -5938,7 +5938,9 @@ static int __ath11k_mac_register(struct ath11k *ar) err_free: kfree(ar->mac.sbands[NL80211_BAND_2GHZ].channels); kfree(ar->mac.sbands[NL80211_BAND_5GHZ].channels); + kfree(ar->mac.sbands[NL80211_BAND_6GHZ].channels); +err: SET_IEEE80211_DEV(ar->hw, NULL); return ret; } -- 2.25.1
