Subject: re: ACPICA: ACPI 2.0, Interpreter: Fix MLC issues by switching to new TermList grammar for table loading
Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2016 17:04:15 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160604140415.GA3344@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Lv Zheng,
The patch 0bfd2f1ec274: "ACPICA: ACPI 2.0, Interpreter: Fix MLC
issues by switching to new TermList grammar for table loading" from
May 13, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/acpi/acpica/nsparse.c:139 acpi_ns_execute_table()
error: we previously assumed 'info' could be null (see line 110)
drivers/acpi/acpica/nsparse.c
135 (void)acpi_ut_acquire_mutex(ACPI_MTX_NAMESPACE);
136
137 cleanup:
138 acpi_ut_remove_reference(method_obj);
139 ACPI_FREE(info->full_pathname);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Archetypal one err bug. It's better to unwind in reverse order from how
you allacted things and only free things you have allocated. Use more
than one label. Also you can use more descriptive label names.
(void)acpi_ut_acquire_mutex(ACPI_MTX_NAMESPACE);
free_pathname:
ACPI_FREE(info->full_pathname);
free_info:
ACPI_FREE(info);
remove_method:
acpi_ut_remove_reference(method_obj);
return_ACPI_STATUS(status);
140 info->full_pathname = NULL;
141 ACPI_FREE(info);
142 return_ACPI_STATUS(status);
143 }
regards,
dan carpenter
