    ALSA: firewire: use managed-resource of fw unit device for private data · 366a20d7
    Takashi Sakamoto authored
    At present, private data of each driver in ALSA firewire stack is
    allocated/freed by kernel slab allocator for corresponding unit on
    IEEE 1394 bus. In this case, resource-managed slab allocator is
    available to release memory object automatically just before releasing
    device structure for the unit. This idea can prevent runtime from
    memory leak due to programming mistakes.
    
    This commit uses the allocator for the private data. These drivers
    already use reference counter to maintain lifetime of device structure
    for the unit by a pair of fw_unit_get()/fw_unit_put(). The private data
    is safely released in a callback of 'struct snd_card.private_free().
