staging: rtl8712: fix memory leak in rtl871x_load_fw_cb
There is a leak in rtl8712 driver. The problem was in non-freed adapter data if firmware load failed. This leak can be reproduced with this code: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=16612f02d00000, Autoload must fail (to not hit memory leak reported by syzkaller) There are 2 possible ways how rtl871x_load_fw_cb() and r871xu_dev_remove() can be called (in case of fw load error). 1st case: r871xu_dev_remove() then rtl871x_load_fw_cb() In this case r871xu_dev_remove() will wait for completion and then will jump to the end, because rtl871x_load_fw_cb() set intfdata to NULL: if (pnetdev) { struct _adapter *padapter = netdev_priv(pnetdev); /* never exit with a firmware callback pending */ wait_for_completion(&padapter->rtl8712_fw_ready); pnetdev = usb_get_intfdata(pusb_intf); usb_set_intfdata(pusb_intf, NULL); if (!pnetdev) goto firmware_load_fail; ... clean up code here ... } 2nd case: rtl871x_load_fw_cb() then r871xu_dev_remove() In this case pnetdev (from code snippet above) will be zero (because rtl871x_load_fw_cb() set it to NULL) And clean up code won't be executed again. So, in all cases we need to free adapted data in rtl871x_load_fw_cb(), because disconnect function cannot take care of it. And there won't be any race conditions, because complete() call happens after setting intfdata to NULL. In previous patch I moved out free_netdev() from r8712_free_drv_sw() and that's why now it's possible to free adapter data and then call complete.
