[PATCH v2] clk: tegra: tegra124-emc: fix krealloc() memory leak
From: Alexander A. Klimov
Date: Sun May 31 2026 - 15:59:33 EST
Don't just overwrite the original pointer passed to krealloc()
with its return value without checking latter:
MEM = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);
If krealloc() returns NULL, that erases the pointer
to the still allocated memory, hence leaks this memory.
Instead, use a temporary variable, check it's not NULL
and only then assign it to the original pointer:
TMP = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);
if (!TMP) return;
MEM = TMP;
Fixes: 888ca40e2843 ("clk: tegra: emc: Support multiple RAM codes")

v2: Separate variable declaration/init
v2: While on it, enhance variable name
v2: While on it, explicit variable type
v2: While on it, re-order variables (reverse Xmas tree)
