[PATCH v6 2/2] x86/MCE/AMD: Fix memory leak when `threshold_create_bank()` fails

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

 



In mce_threshold_create_device(), if threshold_create_bank() fails, the
@bp will be leaked, because the call to mce_threshold_remove_device()
will not free the @bp. mce_threshold_remove_device() frees
@threshold_banks. At that point, the @bp has not been written to
@threshold_banks, @threshold_banks is NULL, so the call is just a nop.

Fix this by extracting the cleanup part into a new static function
__threshold_remove_device(), then call it from create/remove device
functions.

Also, eliminate the "goto out_err", just early return inside the loop
if the creation fails.
