Subject: [PATCH 3/8] drivers/pcmcia: remove unnecessary kzalloc
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:50:34 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0911211250090.23681@ask.diku.dk> (raw)
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>
The result of calling kzalloc is never used or freed.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S;
expression E;
identifier f,f1,l;
position p1,p2;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@
x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
<... when != x
when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
(
x->f1 = E
|
(x->f1 == NULL || ...)
|
f(...,x->f1,...)
)
...>
(
return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);
|
return@p2 ...;
)
@script:python@
p1 << r.p1;
p2 << r.p2;

print "* file: %s kmalloc %s return %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line)
