fwctl/mlx5: Fix memory alloc/free in mlx5ctl_fw_rpc()
Use kvfree() to free memory allocated by kvzalloc() instead of kfree(). Avoid potential memory management issue considering kvzalloc() can internally choose to use either kmalloc() or vmalloc() based on memory request and current system memory state. Hence, use more appropriate kvfree() which automatically determines correct free method to avoid potential hard to debug memory issues. Fix this issue discovered by running spatch static analysis tool using coccinelle script - scripts/coccinelle/api/kfree_mismatch.cocci Fixes: 52929c2142041 ("fwctl/mlx5: Support for communicating with mlx5 fw") Link: https://patch.msgid.link/r/aKAjCoF9cT3VEbSE@bhairav-test.ee.iitb.ac.in Signed-off-by: Akhilesh Patil <akhilesh@ee.iitb.ac.in> Reviewed-by: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com>
