[PATCH] iio: gts-helper: Fix memory leaks in iio_gts_build_avail_scale_table()
Posted by Jinjie Ruan 1 month, 2 weeks ago
modprobe iio-test-gts and rmmod it, then the following memory leak
occurs:

It includes 5*5 times "size 64" memory leaks, which correspond to 5 times
test_init_iio_gain_scale() calls with gts_test_gains size 10 (10*size(int))
and gts_test_itimes size 5. It also includes 5*1 times "size 16"
memory leak, which correspond to one time __test_init_iio_gain_scale()
call with gts_test_gains_gain_low size 3 (3*size(int)) and gts_test_itimes
size 5.

The reason is that the per_time_gains[i] is not freed which is allocated in
the "gts->num_itime" for loop in iio_gts_build_avail_scale_table().

Hi Jinjie,

Your explanation looks correct to me.  I'll wait a while though to give Matti time
to take a look as well.

Thanks,

Sorry for late reply - I spent last couple of days walking through the 
swamps and forests in the wilderness.

Something was bothering me with this. I browsed through the code and all 
the allocations and I'm not able to see why these arrays shouldn't be 
freed. I did even go through the versions I've sent on list trying to 
find out what bothers me.

Well, I found nothing. The version 2 had some code which looped through 
these arrays freeing them - in an error path - but not in successful 
case. It seemed as if I had thought these values had to be maintained - 
but I really can't see why.

So - thanks. I suppose leaving the memory not freed is just a bug :) 
Nice that you killed this one :)

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git.
