Memory leak issue on cfg80211/mac80211 layer?

[Chan, Rio]

Hi wifi Champs:



      I was stuck on those 2 "memory leak" issue, can any one here help me to solve this issue?

      The wifi driver I used here is coming from this git: https://github.com/TI-OpenLink/wl18xx/tree/ol_r8.a8.06



      The code I used is here: https://github.com/TI-OpenLink/wl18xx/blob/ol_r8.a8.06/net/mac80211/scan.c



      The memory leak dump is in the below.



      I looked up the issue list, and I found 1 of them is very similar with the issue I met here:

      Please take a look at this link: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136256227623873&w=2



      So, any one can help me to solve this issue?



      Thanks and appreciated.
