malloc() and free() should never be used within the OS. This will work in the FLAT build because there is only a single heap, but will cause problems in PROTECTED and KERNEL build modes where there are separate heaps for user and kernel memory.
Typically kmm_malloc(), kmm_zalloc(), and kmm_free() should be called within the kernel in those build modes to use the kernel heap.
Memory is never free. Possible memory leak:
./boards/arm/cxd56xx/common/src/cxd56_crashdump.c: pdump = malloc(sizeof(fullcontext_t));
Memory allocated with malloc(), but freed with kmm_free():
./drivers/usbhost/usbhost_composite.c: cfgbuffer = (FAR uint8_t *)malloc(CUSTOM_CONFIG_BUFSIZE);
Memory is never freed in these cases. It is allocated in the driver initialization logic, but there is no corresponding uninitialization logic; memory is not freed on error conditions:
./arch/arm/src/lc823450/lc823450_i2s.c: priv = (struct lc823450_i2s_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct lc823450_i2s_s));
./arch/arm/src/sam34/sam_spi.c: spics = (struct sam_spics_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_spics_s));
./arch/arm/src/sama5/sam_spi.c: spics = (struct sam_spics_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_spics_s));
./arch/arm/src/samv7/sam_spi.c: spics = (struct sam_spics_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_spics_s));
Memory is allocated with zalloc() but freed on error conditions with kmm_free():
./arch/arm/src/sama5/sam_ssc.c: priv = (struct sam_ssc_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_ssc_s));
./arch/arm/src/samv7/sam_ssc.c: priv = (struct sam_ssc_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_ssc_s));
./arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_i2s.c: priv = (struct stm32_i2s_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct stm32_i2s_s));
Memory is never freed:
./drivers/spi/spi_bitbang.c: priv = (FAR struct spi_bitbang_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct spi_bitbang_s));
