Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drivers/scsi: Add kmalloc NULL tests
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 22:06:03 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0908062205190.19100@ask.diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Check that the result of kmalloc is not NULL before passing it to other
functions.

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

// <smpl>
@@
expression *x;
identifier f;
constant char *C;
@@

x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...);
... when != x == NULL
    when != x != NULL
    when != (x || ...)
(
kfree(x)
|
f(...,C,...,x,...)
|
*f(...,x,...)
|
*x->f
)
// </smpl>
