[PATCH 3/5] drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c: eliminate a null pointer dereference

[PATCH 3/5] drivers/hid/hid-roccat.c: eliminate a null pointer dereference

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

It is not possible to take the lock in device if device is NULL.
The mutex_lock is thus moved after the NULL test, and the relevant part of
the shared error handling code is moved up.

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

// <smpl>
@r@
expression E, E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;
@@

if (E == NULL)
{
  ... when != if (E == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
      when != E = E1
*E->f
  ... when any
  return ...;
}
else S3
// </smpl>

Typo.  mutex_unlock() instead of mutex_lock().

This is no typo, but simply wrong. Remove the mutex_lock() as we are
leaving the function here in error flow.

No, this one is definitely needed. Its devices_lock, not
device->readers_lock! And devices_lock is locked before so we need to
unlock it if we return in this branch.

Julia,

thanks a lot for fixing this.

Could you please redo the patch in a way that it adds second 
'exit_unlock1' label (and renames 'exit_unlock' to 'exit_unlock2') (or 
any appropriate variation of the names) and preserve error path using goto 
instead of mixture of returns and gotos that this patch would introduce?

Thanks,

OK.  At first I couldn't see how to do this without duplicating the 
unlocks in the success and failure cases, but perhaps there is a solution 
by adding more gotos.  I'll try for that.

It is not possible to take the lock in device if device is NULL.
The mutex_lock is thus moved after the NULL test.  New error handling
labels are added at the end to differentiate between the cases where
different sets of locks should be unlocks, and between whether or not
reader should be freed (only on error).

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
