[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: dapm: Fix kcontrol widget name memory management
The name field of the widget template is only used inside snd_soc_dapm_new_control_unlocked() which allocates a copy for the actual widget. This means we need to free the name allocated for the template in dapm_kcontrol_data_alloc() and not the name of the actual widget in dapm_kcontrol_free(). Otherwise we get a double free on the widget name and a memory leak on the template name.

The patch
ASoC: dapm: Fix kcontrol widget name memory management
has been applied to the asoc tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.
Thanks, Mark
