[PATCH v2] dmaengine: fsl-dpaa2-qdma: fix ppriv memory leaks
From: Guangshuo Li
Date: Mon Sep 21 2026 - 07:21:48 EST
dpaa2_qdma_setup() allocates priv->ppriv, but failures after the
allocation can return from the function without releasing it. The
existing probe cleanup for priv->ppriv is only reached when a later
initialization step fails.
The normal remove path does not release priv->ppriv either, causing the
allocation to be leaked when the driver is unbound.
Since dpaa2_qdma_setup() is only called from probe, allocate priv->ppriv
with devm_kcalloc(). This automatically releases the memory on probe
failure and driver removal. Remove the now redundant manual cleanup from
the probe error path.

v2:
- Use devm_kcalloc() for priv->ppriv, as suggested by Frank Li.
- Remove the now redundant manual cleanup from the probe error path.
