[PATCH v1 3/5] dmaengine: idxd: fix memory leak in error handling path of idxd_setup_groups

From: Shuai Xue
Date: Fri Jan 10 2025 - 03:23:44 EST


Memory allocated for groups is not freed if an error occurs during
idxd_setup_groups(). To fix it, free the allocated memory in the reverse
order of allocation before exiting the function in case of an error.
