From adc83bf8896353603213754353dd66dae69e3d7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Norris Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2015 10:24:03 -0800 Subject: mtd: partitions: support a cleanup callback for parsers If partition parsers need to clean up their resources, we shouldn't assume that all memory will fit in a single kmalloc() that the caller can kfree(). We should allow the parser to provide a proper cleanup routine. Note that this means we need to keep a hold on the parser's module for a bit longer, and release it later with mtd_part_parser_put(). Alongside this, define a default callback that we'll automatically use if the parser doesn't provide one, so we can still retain the old behavior.
