Subject: [PATCH] kfree followed by a TRACE_RET before ref should be ok
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2014 10:19:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140722081909.GA7723@opentech.at> (raw)
kfree.cocci currently triggers on constructs like
drivers/staging/rts5208/spi.c:
596 if (retval < 0) {
597 kfree(buf);
598 rtsx_clear_spi_error(chip);
599 spi_set_err_code(chip, SPI_HW_ERR);
600 TRACE_RET(chip, STATUS_FAIL);
601 }
602
603 rtsx_stor_access_xfer_buf(buf, pagelen, srb, &index, &offset,
TO_XFER_BUF);
with:
./drivers/staging/rts5208/spi.c:603:28-31: ERROR: reference preceded
by free on line 597
but this should be fine - so TRACE_RET is added to the list of calls
"protecting" access to freed objects see drivers/staging/rts5208/trace.h
