Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8712: fix potential memory leak in _r8712_init_xmit_priv()
Date: Wed,  6 Apr 2022 11:52:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_7EE382C22FDC47C9F4FF01E490B93C178C05@qq.com> (raw)

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@foxmail.com>

In _r8712_init_xmit_priv(), if `pxmitbuf->pallocated_buf` is allocated in  
failure or `r8712_xmit_resource_alloc(padapter, pxmitbuf)` fails, then it 
just returns -ENOMEM but not releases the previous allocated resources, 
which leads to various memory leaks.

To fix the memory leaks, this patch unifies the error handler in 
_r8712_init_xmit_priv().
Note that if `r8712_xmit_resource_alloc(padapter, pxmitbuf)` fails, we 
should call `kfree(pxmitbuf->pallocated_buf);` before goto the error 
section so that we do not need to concern the failed item.
