It should be that it unwinds in the reverse order from the allocation. The goto should be "goto free_most_recently_allocated_resource;". Since the unwind is done in the wrong order it causes a couple bugs. These buffers are the last thing which we allocated so they should be the first thing which we free. In this case, calling pxa3xx_gcu_free_buffers() before the buffers are allocated is confusing but harmless. The clk_disable_unprepare() is done on some paths where the clock was not enabled and that will trigger a WARN() so that's a bug. Syzcaller will complain and if you have reboot on WARN then it's annoying. The second bug is that we don't deregister the misc device or release the DMA memory on failure when we allocate the buffers in the loop. regards, dan carpenter
