Hi greg k-h:
Thanks for pointing out my mistake, I will correct it in my future submissions.

The really free call sequence is done in r8712_free_drv_sw, like the follow error branch:
r871xu_drv_init
if (status)
goto dvobj_deinit
r8712_free_drv_sw
_r8712_free_recv_priv
r8712_free_recv_priv
for (i = 0; i < NR_RECVBUFF; i++)
r8712_os_recvbuf_resource_free
if (precvbuf->pskb)
dev_kfree_skb_any(precvbuf->pskb)
if (precvbuf->purb)
usb_kill_urb(precvbuf->purb)
usb_free_urb(precvbuf->purb)
I checked the caller's error branch, they call r8712_free_drv_sw to do the cleanup job, i throught the caller is OK.
And my test from sysbot shows that:
Before i add follow code, the memleak is almost 62 times,after my change, the memleak number change to 7.
before
[ 93.070089][T10847] kmemleak: 62 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
after fix:
[ 77.557355][ T4098] kmemleak: 7 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
I throught the remain 7 is the right use, so i add kmemleak_not_leak.
I am not sure if there is some gap.
Kindly help to correct me if I'm missing something, thanks!
