This list is local to the probe() function. We should free it up in both
the success case and the error case, but currently we're only freeing it
in the error case (see commit f1d722b607d6 ("PCI: rockchip: Fix
rockchip_pcie_probe() error path to free resource list")).

Caught by kmemleak, when doing repeated bind/unbind tests.

It doesn't look natural to free it in probe, instead it looks more
like we should do the cleanup work when calling .remove

I didn't know if there is something that still use this resource
, for instance, hotplug? But I noticed it from Bjron's statement[1]
that "The struct resource for each host bridge window must live as long
as the host bridge itself". So I didn't free it when finishing probe.
I guess the proper fix is to do it in pci_remove_root_bus or somewhere
of the cleanup code if I undertand it correctly.

Hmm, I did write this one up pretty quickly, so I might have gotten it a
bit wrong. It's not clear there's a *real* problem with this patch,
since the bridge's window list doesn't actually get used much later, but
I agree this isn't correct.

And actually, I think my patch is a red herring; the leak is still
there. I notice that the resource list is actually freed in
pci_release_host_bridge_dev() already anyway.

That thread is talking about a different issue; in that driver, the
'struct resource' is on the stack. That's not good. In our case, it's
just the resource list head that's on the stack, which is fine. The
relevant entries get spliced onto a longer-lived list in the end.

But then, we have these to consider for leaks:

(a) the 'resource_entry's allocated in
of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources() (via pci_add_resource() and
pci_add_resource_offset())

(b) the 'resource's allocated in
of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources(), to go with each of the
'resource_entry's from (b)

As noted above, I think (a) is actually taken care of (and so my current
patch is not needed). The problem is only with (b). (I think?)

I'll double check this all tomorrow.

Brian

yes, it looks like there's no way to free resources allocated in 
of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources, expect for the err path: 
kfree(window->res).

i think it's a common issue, which may not get fix in rockchip pci driver.

maybe we should modify of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources, pass the struct 
device to it, and change all kzalloc to devm_kzalloc(also remove the kfree)
