From bd50a974097bb82d52a458bd3ee39fb723129a0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zijun Hu quic_zijuhu@quicinc.com Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2024 22:51:51 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] devres: Fix memory leakage caused by driver API devm_free_percpu()
It will cause memory leakage when use driver API devm_free_percpu() to free memory allocated by devm_alloc_percpu(), fixed by using devres_release() instead of devres_destroy() within devm_free_percpu().
