Subject: [PATCH 3/9] drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c: add missing kfree
Date: Mon,  8 Aug 2011 13:17:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312802283-9107-3-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Currently, error handling code in this function calls the function
sata_dwc_port_stop, but this function has essentially no effect if hsdevp
has not been stored in ap, which is the case throughout this function.  The
only effect is to print a debugging message including ap->print_id.

The code is rewritten to not call sata_dwc_port_stop, but instead to jump
to a local label that prints the original error message and the print_id
information.  In the case where hsdevp has been already allocated (but not
yet stored in ap), this value is freed as well.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S,S1;
expression E;
identifier fl;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...

<... when != x
     when != if (...) { <+...kfree(x)...+> }
     when any
     when != true x == NULL

...>

if (...) { ... when != x
               when forall
(
 return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);

* return ...;
)
}
)
// </smpl>
