If the kcalloc() to populate gc->irq_contexts fails, the irqs array is not freed. Probably could extend this patch to fix that leak as well. Michael

They are not the preferred style of implementation, merely an acceptable one. Use of ``guard()`` is discouraged within any function longer than 20 lines, ``scoped_guard()`` is considered more readable. Using normal lock/unlock is still (weakly) preferred. Low level cleanup constructs (such as ``__free()``) can be used when building APIs and helpers, especially scoped iterators. However, direct use of ``__free()`` within networking core and drivers is discouraged. Similar guidance applies to declaring variables mid-function.

Commit 8afefc361209 ("net: mana: Assigning IRQ affinity on HT cores") added memory allocation in mana_gd_setup_irqs of 'irqs' but the code doesn't free this temporary array in the success path. This was caught by kmemleak.
