Subject: Re: [PATCH] fwctl: mlx5: fix memory alloc/free in mlx5ctl_fw_rpc()
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2025 16:40:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <35e23690-a907-4606-a484-e3e342a14e7c@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aJjiRqLx9TEg2NFj@bhairav-test.ee.iitb.ac.in>

> Use kvfree() to free memory allocated by kvzalloc() instead of kfree().
> Avoid potential memory management issue by matching alloc/free routines.

Test command example:
Markus_Elfring@Sonne:…/Projekte/Linux/next-analyses> /usr/bin/spatch -D report scripts/coccinelle/api/kfree_mismatch.cocci drivers/fwctl/mlx5/main.c
…

Regards,
Markus
