commitc06c76602eupstream. clang static analysis flags this error qat_uclo.c:297:3: warning: Attempt to free released memory [unix.Malloc] kfree(*init_tab_base); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When input *init_tab_base is null, the function allocates memory for the head of the list. When there is problem allocating other list elements the list is unwound and freed. Then a check is made if the list head was allocated and is also freed. Keeping track of the what may need to be freed is the variable 'tail_old'. The unwinding/freeing block is while (tail_old) { mem_init = tail_old->next; kfree(tail_old); tail_old = mem_init; } The problem is that the first element of tail_old is also what was allocated for the list head init_header = kzalloc(sizeof(*init_header), GFP_KERNEL); ... *init_tab_base = init_header; flag = 1; } tail_old = init_header; So *init_tab_base/init_header are freed twice. There is another problem. When the input *init_tab_base is non null the tail_old is calculated by traveling down the list to first non null entry. tail_old = init_header; while (tail_old->next) tail_old = tail_old->next; When the unwinding free happens, the last entry of the input list will be freed. So the freeing needs a general changed. If locally allocated the first element of tail_old is freed, else it is skipped. As a bit of cleanup, reset *init_tab_base if it came in as null.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
