Subject: question about drivers/dma/dma-jz4780.c
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2015 11:08:49 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1507191104040.2002@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
The file drivers/dma/dma-jz4780.c has a probe function that sets up irqs
using devm_request_irq. The probe function then ends with:
err_unregister_dev:
dma_async_device_unregister(dd);
err_disable_clk:
clk_disable_unprepare(jzdma->clk);
return ret;
}
The remove function, on the other hand contains:
of_dma_controller_free(pdev->dev.of_node);
devm_free_irq(&pdev->dev, jzdma->irq, jzdma);
dma_async_device_unregister(&jzdma->dma_device);
The need for calling devm_free_irq explicitly would be that it needs to
occur before dma_async_device_unregister, to eg avoid a reference to a
dangling pointer. But devm_free_irq is implicitly called after the call
to dma_async_device_unregister at the end of the probe function. Which
one is correct?
