[PATCH v3] Input: sparse-keymap - use a managed allocation for keymap copy

From: MichaÅ KÄpieÅ
Date: Wed Mar 08 2017 - 03:22:34 EST


Some platform drivers use devm_input_allocate_device() together with
sparse_keymap_setup() in their .probe callbacks. While using the former
simplifies error handling, using the latter necessitates calling
sparse_keymap_free() in the error path and upon module unloading to
avoid leaking the copy of the keymap allocated by sparse_keymap_setup().

To help prevent such leaks and enable simpler error handling, make
sparse_keymap_setup() use devm_kmemdup() to create the keymap copy so
that it gets automatically freed.

This works for both managed and non-managed input devices as the keymap
is freed after the last reference to the input device is dropped.

Note that actions previously taken by sparse_keymap_free(), i.e. taking
the input device's mutex and zeroing its keycode and keycodemax fields,
are now redundant because the managed keymap will always be freed after
the input device is unregistered.

Changes from v2:

- Always use the input device as the owner of the managed keymap copy,
no matter whether that input device is itself managed or
non-managed.

- Use devm_kmemdup() instead of devm_kcalloc() to avoid a separate
call to memcpy().

- Update commit message to reflect the above changes.

Changes from v1:

- Do not add a new function. Instead, make sparse_keymap_setup()
always use a managed allocation, which allows making
sparse_keymap_free() a noop and simplifies error handling.

- Update subject, commit message and comments accordingly.
