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_compatible_node
|of_match_node
|of_find_node_by_type
|of_find_node_with_property

... when != of_node_put(x)
when != if (...) { ... of_node_put(x); ... }

(
E2 = x;

of_node_put(x);

// </smpl>
