Hello Monk Liu,
The patch 9d8f086cd059: "drm/amdgpu: fix memleak in pptable_init"
from May 30, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../powerplay/amd_powerplay.c:107 pp_sw_fini()
error: dereferencing freed memory 'hwmgr'
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../powerplay/amd_powerplay.c
90 static int pp_sw_fini(void *handle)
91 {
92 struct pp_instance *pp_handle;
93 struct pp_hwmgr *hwmgr;
94 int ret = 0;
95
96 if (handle == NULL)
97 return -EINVAL;
98
99 pp_handle = (struct pp_instance *)handle;
100 hwmgr = pp_handle->hwmgr;
101
102 PP_CHECK_HW(hwmgr);
103
104 if (hwmgr->hwmgr_func->backend_fini != NULL)
105 ret = hwmgr->hwmgr_func->backend_fini(hwmgr);
The cz_hwmgr_backend_fini() function frees "hwmgr".
106
107 if (hwmgr->pptable_func->pptable_fini)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But we dereference it on the next line which won't work.
108 hwmgr->pptable_func->pptable_fini(hwmgr);
109
110 return ret;
111 }
regards,
dan carpenter
