Dear Sanjay, Would you mind explaining why you put so many people into TO and CC fields when sending patch series. You should stick to maintainers and reviewers from maintainers file as others can still see it on the mailing list(that's why you CC kernel mailing.list related emails). Sincerely Luka Gejak P.S. If you are including me in further discussions or patch series please use luka.gejak@linux.dev instead of lukagejak5@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
This patch series replaces manual cleanup and explicit kfree() calls with the __free attribute from <linux/cleanup.h>. This modernizes the memory management style and simplifies common error paths without altering any functional behavior.
The __free attribute provides automatic scope-based cleanup, making resource management clearer and reducing the chances of missing cleanup on early returns.
No functional changes are intended in this series.
Testing:
- Compiled with W=1
- Build-tested on i86_64
Based on: <linux-v7.0-rc2>
Feel free to share your valuable input in context of the cleanup API.
Thanks, Sanjay Chitroda
