Joe Hattori was finding some of these bugs using his static checker. We could easily write something really specific to find this sort of bug using Smatch. If you have ideas like this feel free to ask on smatch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. It doesn't find anything that your grep didn't find but any new bugs will be detected when they're introduced. regards, dan carpenter
