We need reset the related kcontrol's widget list during the
freeing of a widget, otherwise, the widget list may be outdated
and reference to it may introduce errors(they usually occurs
during driver modules unloading/reloading).

Here adding a func dapm_update_kcontrols_of_freeing_widget and
call it at dapm_update_kcontrols_of_freeing_widget, to fix those
issues.

This looks buggy.  You didn't rearrange widgets[] but just put a hole,
yet decreasing the number.

BTW, how does the reference occur while unloading?  Or better to say:
isn't it the module refcount adjusted while accessing the resources?


thanks,

You are right, but since krealloc() cannot shrink the allocated size, maybe we should
free those related kcontrols here?

soc_cleanup_card_resources
	snd_soc_dapm_free
		dapm_free_widgets
	snd_card_free
		//removing kcontrols, calling private dapm_kcontrol_free()
			kfree(data->widget->name);//the widget here may be
					//already freed! So the reference here
					//may cause error.


So, actually, here resetting data->widget to NULL may be what we really need,
and updating data->wlist (num_widgets and widgets[j]) is only the icing I wanted
on the cake, maybe I should remove it?

Hi,

that free was wrong no matter what, since the widget itself frees the name. 
So even if widget is valid this would result in a double free.

The issue was fixed in this commit: 
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git/commit?h=for-next&id=e18077b6e5dfe26e9fbbdc1fd1085a1701c24bea

Thanks, Lars, your fixing also fix my module unloading failed issue.

Then my patch may be not needed any more, the outdated data->wlist and 
data->widget(num_widgets and widgets[j]) looks not so critical, for they may
be freed totally at the subsequent kcontrol private removing.

Thanks,
~Keyon
