crypto: qat - use unmanaged allocation for dc_data
The dc_data structure holds data required for handling compression operations, such as overflow buffers. In this context, the use of managed memory allocation APIs (devm_kzalloc() and devm_kfree()) is not necessary, as these data structures are freed and re-allocated when a device is restarted in adf_dev_down() and adf_dev_up(). Additionally, managed APIs automatically handle memory cleanup when the device is detached, which can lead to conflicts with manual cleanup processes. Specifically, if a device driver invokes the adf_dev_down() function as part of the cleanup registered with devm_add_action_or_reset(), it may attempt to free memory that is also managed by the device's resource management system, potentially leading to a double-free. This might result in a warning similar to the following when unloading the device specific driver, for example qat_6xxx.ko: qat_free_dc_data+0x4f/0x60 [intel_qat] qat_compression_event_handler+0x3d/0x1d0 [intel_qat] adf_dev_shutdown+0x6d/0x1a0 [intel_qat] adf_dev_down+0x32/0x50 [intel_qat] devres_release_all+0xb8/0x110 device_unbind_cleanup+0xe/0x70 device_release_driver_internal+0x1c1/0x200 driver_detach+0x48/0x90 bus_remove_driver+0x74/0xf0 pci_unregister_driver+0x2e/0xb0 Use unmanaged memory allocation APIs (kzalloc_node() and kfree()) for the dc_data structure. This ensures that memory is explicitly allocated and freed under the control of the driver code, preventing manual deallocation from interfering with automatic cleanup.
