Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ALSA: ctxfi: Fix memory leakage when clearing DAO input mappers
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2026 23:45:01 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001144501.3050667-2-me@harin.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001144501.3050667-1-me@harin.net>

Commit e576e7843c0d ("ALSA: ctxfi: Simplify dao_clear_{left,right}_input() functions")
centralized the DAO input mapper clearing logic in
dao_clear_input(), but omitted the kfree() calls.

It removes the mapper entries from the list and sets their pointers
to NULL without freeing the allocated array. This leaks memory each
time dao_clear_input() is called.

Store the base pointer of the allocation before clearing the mapper
entries and free the array after removing entries from the list.

Fixes: e576e7843c0d ("ALSA: ctxfi: Simplify dao_clear_{left,right}_input() functions")
