Subject: [PATCH v2] clk: mvebu/clk-cpu.c: fix memory leakage

the variable cpuclk and clk_name should be properly freed when error happens.

Do you want to take this fix through the clock tree?  If so,

Acked-by: Jason Cooper <jason@lakedaemon.net>

Otherwise, just let me know.

thx,

Jason.

I also think it should go through the clock tree but before this
I'd like we fix the last issue.

Cong Ding,

you didn't take in account the case when the allocation of the 1st clocks
when the 2nd cpu clock failed. In this case there is still a memory leak with
the clock_name of the first cpu clock. See below for my proposal:

as cpuclk is allocated with all its member set to 0, and kfree(0) is a valid call.
We can add the following lines:

while(ncpus--)
	kfree(cpuclk[ncpus].clk_name);

I agree the version 2 patch still includes memory leakage in terms of clk_name,
but I am wondering whether it is safe to call kfree(cpuclk[ncpus].clkname)
directly or not. It's true that kfree(0) is valid, but cpuclk[ncpus].clkname
might not be 0 when it is allocated by kzalloc. kzalloc just allocates the
memory while doesn't ensure the initial value in this memory area is 0. So I
am thinking we should call memset after the alloction or use a counter to
remember the number of clk_names allocated?

I think that you describe the behavior of kmalloc, but the main difference
with kmalloc and kzalloc, is that kzalloc allocates _zeroed_ paged, so I am
pretty sure that all the memory space allocated should be set to zero.
