net: thunderx: fix double free error
This patch fixes an error in memory allocation/freeing in ThunderX PF driver. I moved the allocation to the probe() function and made it managed. >From the Colin's email: While running static analysis on linux-next with CoverityScan I found 3 double free errors in the Cavium thunder driver. The issue occurs on the err_disable_device: label of function nic_probe when nic_free_lmacmem(nic) is called and a double free occurs on nic->duplex, nic->link and nic->speed. This occurs when nic_init_hw() fails: /* Initialize hardware */ err = nic_init_hw(nic); if (err) goto err_release_regions; nic_init_hw() calls nic_get_hw_info() and this calls nic_free_lmacmem() if any of the allocations fail. This free'ing occurs again by the call to nic_free_lmacmem() on the err_release_regions exit path in nic_probe().
