Subject: [PATCH] clocksource/drivers: Fix memory leaks in ttc_setup_clockevent and ttc_setup_clocksource

In the implementation of ttc_setup_clockevent() and
ttc_setup_clocksource(), the allocated memory for ttccs is leaked when
clk_notifier_register() fails. Use goto to direct the execution into error
handling path.

No, that memory was never leaked since that function did not return on
registration errors before your patch.

Perhaps you meant to fix the actual leak that was added by this commit
in a different function, ttc_setup_clockevent(), when returning on
notifier-registration errors?

Also should the clock be left enabled on errors?

+ this is IMHO v3 version. It means just label it properly and also keep
changes log.

I suggest to correct your commit message.


> Use goto to direct the execution into error handling path.

* Should the desired completion of the exception handling be described
by an other wording?

* Will it be better to improve the affected functions by
separate update steps?

* How do you think about to add the tag “Reported-by” for Michal Simek?

* Please omit a blank line after the label.

* Is there a need to call the function “clk_disable_unprepare”
by another jump target?
