[PATCH] irqchip/stm32: Fix "WARNING: invalid free of devm_ allocated

[PATCH] irqchip/stm32: Fix "WARNING: invalid free of devm_ allocated

[Daode Huang]

Since devm_ allocated data can be automaitcally released, it's no
need to free it apparently, just remove it.

Fixes: cfbf9e497094 ("irqchip/stm32: Use a platform driver for
stm32mp1-exti device")

Applied, thanks.

Scratch that. This patch is just wrong, and just reading the code
makes it obvious. stm32_exti_init() is only called on paths
that allocate the memory with kmalloc.

Clearly you haven't tried to understand what is going on.

Re: [PATCH] irqchip/stm32: Fix "WARNING: invalid free of devm_ allocated

[Fabien DESSENNE]

Hi Daode,


I confirm that this patch is not a good idea, here are some explanations.

irq-stm32-exti.c deals with two different purposes:

- either it is used to probe the "st,stm32mp1-exti" compatible device. 
In that case .probe() is invoked and uses devm_kzalloc() to get memory. 
No need to free memory.

-either is it used for other stm32 devices. In that case, there is no 
probe function, the driver is 'just' init'ed. In that case, 
devm_kzalloc() is not used and explicit free memory is required.

As said by Mark, you have just mixed the two paths.

Fabien

答复: [PATCH] irqchip/stm32: Fix "WARNING: invalid free of devm_ allocated

[huangdaode]

Yes, I went through the code, found it's a wrong patch, sorry for making the confusion. 

Thanks.
