From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Error handling code following a kzalloc should free the allocated data. Similarly for usb-alloc urb. The semantic match that finds the first 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) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Cc: Andrew Lunn <andrew@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/batman-adv/send.c | 4 +++- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/batman-adv/send.c b/drivers/staging/batman-adv/send.c index d724798..eb61750 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/batman-adv/send.c +++ b/drivers/staging/batman-adv/send.c @@ -363,8 +363,10 @@ void add_bcast_packet_to_list(unsigned char *packet_buff, int packet_len) return; forw_packet->packet_buff = kmalloc(packet_len, GFP_ATOMIC); - if (!forw_packet->packet_buff) + if (!forw_packet->packet_buff) { + kfree(forw_packet); return; + } forw_packet->packet_len = packet_len; memcpy(forw_packet->packet_buff, packet_buff, forw_packet->packet_len); -- 1.6.5.7 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
