[PATCH v1 1/2] ACPI: NFIT: Fix memory leak, and local use of devm_*()

From: Michal Wilczynski
Date: Tue Sep 26 2023 - 14:45:49 EST


devm_*() family of functions purpose is managing memory attached to a
device. So in general it should only be used for allocations that should
last for the whole lifecycle of the device. This is not the case for
acpi_nfit_init_interleave_set(). There are two allocations that are only
used locally in this function. What's more - if the function exits on
error path memory is never freed. It's still attached to dev and would
be freed on device detach, so this leak could be called a 'local leak'.

Fix this by switching from devm_kcalloc() to kcalloc(), and adding
proper rollback.
