Yes, indeed, the fix is wrong, but the bug exists. I'm pasting
the original function:

if (kfd->cwsr_enabled && (q->type == KFD_QUEUE_TYPE_COMPUTE)) {
mqd_mem_obj = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kfd_mem_obj), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!mqd_mem_obj)
return NULL;
...
} else {
retval = kfd_gtt_sa_allocate(kfd, sizeof(struct v9_mqd),
&mqd_mem_obj);
}

if (retval) {
kfree(mqd_mem_obj);
return NULL;
}

The "kfd_gtt_sa_allocate()" function allocates mqd_mem_obj and if
an error occurs internally frees it, without setting it to NULL;
retval is true and we kfree a memory that has already been freed.

The real fix is to move the "if (retval)" inside the if. It would
basically be:

Maybe with some clever refactoring we could reduce some code
duplication.

Daniil will you look into this?
