soc camera driver module may case memory leak

soc camera driver module may case memory leak

[再回首]

Dear sir:
why not call "videobuf_mmap_free",when device close call "soc_camera_close" in linux-2.6.x;do the same in linux-3.x.x?
video capture flow:
1)open
2)set fmt
3)request buffer-->__videobuf_mmap_setup-->videobuf_alloc_vb(q)
4)mmap
5)enqueue, dequeue
6)unmap
7)close--->soc_camera_close-->?should call:videobuf_mmap_free
NOTE:
I have reviewed all the code, found:soc_camera_driver device driver coders has no way(callback function) to call videobuf_mmap_free; it will case memory leak.

I haven't found any version, where this has been done. I don't think this 
is needed, because videobuf mmap allocations will be freed automatically 
upon the last close(). Please, dismiss your bugzilla entry.
