I mean false positives in code inside directory crypto/ where this subsystem lives. ./arch/x86/crypto/fpu.c:143:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/algapi.c:846:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/lrw.c:378:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/ecb.c:163:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/ctr.c:242:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/ctr.c:419:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/ctr.c:428:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/pcbc.c:273:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/cts.c:329:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/cbc.c:267:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data ./crypto/xts.c:340:1-6: WARNING: invalid free of crypto_alloc_* allocated data This is kfree calls on error paths in constructors or in destructors which actually frees memory when crypto_free_* is called. > > I would suggest to extend the rule a little bit to include information > about where the allocation call is: Not sure if this is necessary.
