[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2] ALSA: pcm: fix multiple memory leak bugs
In hiface_pcm_init(), 'rt' is firstly allocated through kzalloc(). Later on, hiface_pcm_init_urb() is invoked to initialize 'rt->out_urbs[i]'. In hiface_pcm_init_urb(), 'rt->out_urbs[i].buffer' is allocated through kzalloc(). However, if hiface_pcm_init_urb() fails, both 'rt' and 'rt->out_urbs[i].buffer' are not deallocated, leading to memory leak bugs. Also, 'rt->out_urbs[i].buffer' is not deallocated if snd_pcm_new() fails.
To fix the above issues, free 'rt' and 'rt->out_urbs[i].buffer'.

The fixes look correct, but since we can unconditionally call kfree() for NULL, both error paths can be unified as:
for (i = 0; i < PCM_N_URBS; i++) kfree(rt->out_urbs[i].buffer); kfree(rt);
and this would be better to be put in the common path at the end and do "goto error" or such from both places.
BTW, your patch doesn't seem cleanly applicable in anyway because the tabs are converted to spaces. Please check the mail setup.
Also, please try to make the subject line more unique. This is about hiface driver, so "ALSA: hiface: xxx" should be more appropriate.
thanks,
Takashi

I will rework the patch and revise the subject line.
