In function build_maps() it will allocate the buffers needed by the mtd partition, but if something goes wrong such as kmalloc failure, mtd read error or invalid partition header parameter, it will free all allocated buffers and then return non-zero. In my case, it seems that partition header parameter 'NumTransferUnits' is invalid. And the ftl_freepart() is a function which free all the partition buffers allocated by build_maps(). Given the build_maps() is a self cleaning function, so there is no need to invoke this function even if build_maps() return with error. Otherwise it will causes the buffers to be freed twice and then weird things would happen.
