Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
3d67a50752
This patch fixes an error in memory allocation/freeing in ThunderX PF driver. I moved the allocation to the probe() function and made it managed. >From the Colin's email: While running static analysis on linux-next with CoverityScan I found 3 double free errors in the Cavium thunder driver. The issue occurs on the err_disable_device: label of function nic_probe when nic_free_lmacmem(nic) is called and a double free occurs on nic->duplex, nic->link and nic->speed. This occurs when nic_init_hw() fails: /* Initialize hardware */ err = nic_init_hw(nic); if (err) goto err_release_regions; nic_init_hw() calls nic_get_hw_info() and this calls nic_free_lmacmem() if any of the allocations fail. This free'ing occurs again by the call to nic_free_lmacmem() on the err_release_regions exit path in nic_probe().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
