[PATCH v3] media: hi846: Fix memleak in hi846_init_controls()
Posted by Wei Chen 1 year, 1 month ago
hi846_init_controls doesn't clean the allocated ctrl_hdlr
in case there is a failure, which causes memleak. Add
v4l2_ctrl_handler_free to free the resource properly.

Fixes: e8c0882685f9 ("media: i2c: add driver for the SK Hynix Hi-846 8M pixel camera")
Signed-off-by: Wei Chen <harperchen1110@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
 - move v4l2_ctrl_handler_free to error tag
 - handle memleak in other failure positions
Changes in v3:
 - add fixes commit tag

just for the future: you don't need to send a new revision for tags-
addition only. That's usually something that maintainers can do when
applying, also (semi-)automated.

But *if* you send a new revision (due to other changes), you *should*
add all appropriate tags. So for this new revision you forgot this:

Reviewed-by: Martin Kepplinger <martin.kepplinger@puri.sm>

but, as you now know, you should not create a new revision for this
alone.

thanks,
