From: Wenwen Wang wenwen@cs.uga.edu Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2019 04:08:51 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hiface: fix multiple memory leak bugs
In hiface_pcm_init(), 'rt' is firstly allocated through kzalloc(). Later on, hiface_pcm_init_urb() is invoked to initialize 'rt->out_urbs[i]'. In hiface_pcm_init_urb(), 'rt->out_urbs[i].buffer' is allocated through kzalloc(). However, if hiface_pcm_init_urb() fails, both 'rt' and 'rt->out_urbs[i].buffer' are not deallocated, leading to memory leak bugs. Also, 'rt->out_urbs[i].buffer' is not deallocated if snd_pcm_new() fails.
To fix the above issues, free 'rt' and 'rt->out_urbs[i].buffer'.
