Subject: [PATCH 4/4] arch/powerpc/platforms/chrp/nvram.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak
Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:48:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1283269738-14612-5-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1283269738-14612-1-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk>

Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_node_by_type.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E,E1,E2;
statement S;

*x =

|of_find_node_by_name
|of_find_node_by_phandle
|of_get_parent
|of_get_next_parent
|of_get_next_child
|of_find_compatible_node
|of_match_node
|of_find_node_by_type
|of_find_node_with_property
|of_find_matching_node
|of_parse_phandle
)(...);
...

<... when != x = E
*if (...) {
  ... when != of_node_put(x)
      when != if (...) { ... of_node_put(x); ... }
(
  return <+...x...+>;
|
*  return ...;
)
}
...>
(
E2 = x;
|
of_node_put(x);
)
// </smpl>
