Subject: [PATCH] b43legacy: Release mutex in error handling code
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:29:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200807211129.34610.mb@bu3sch.de> (raw)
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>
The mutex is released on a successful return, so it would seem that it
should be released on an error return as well.
The semantic patch finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@@
expression l;
@@
mutex_lock(l);
... when != mutex_unlock(l)
when any
when strict
(
if (...) { ... when != mutex_unlock(l)
+ mutex_unlock(l);
return ...;
}
|
mutex_unlock(l);
)
// </smpl>
