commit0b0cf6af3fupstream. coccicheck currently warns of the following issues in the driver: drivers/crypto/hisilicon/sec/sec_algs.c:864:51-66: ERROR: reference preceded by free on line 812 drivers/crypto/hisilicon/sec/sec_algs.c:864:40-49: ERROR: reference preceded by free on line 813 drivers/crypto/hisilicon/sec/sec_algs.c:861:8-24: ERROR: reference preceded by free on line 814 drivers/crypto/hisilicon/sec/sec_algs.c:860:41-51: ERROR: reference preceded by free on line 815 drivers/crypto/hisilicon/sec/sec_algs.c:867:7-18: ERROR: reference preceded by free on line 816 It would appear than on certain error paths that we may attempt reference- after-free some memories. This patch fixes those issues. The solution doesn't look perfect, but having same memories free'd possibly from separate functions makes it tricky.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
