From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Each of these functions defines a variable err and a variable retval. err is always 0 and is returned in the error case. At one point near the end of the function, retval is initialized to an error code. For each function, the patch drops err, stores -ENOMEM in retval in two cases where memory allocation fails, and changes the return value in the error case from err to retval. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression ret; expression x,e1,e2,e3; @@ ret = 0 ... when != ret = e1 *x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...) ... when != ret = e2 if (x == NULL) { ... when != ret = e3 return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-audio-upstream.c | 11 +++++++---- drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c | 11 +++++++---- drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream.c | 11 +++++++---- 3 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-audio-upstream.c b/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-audio-upstream.c --- a/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-audio-upstream.c +++ b/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-audio-upstream.c @@ -723,7 +723,6 @@ int cx25821_audio_upstream_init(struct c { struct sram_channel *sram_ch; int retval = 0; - int err = 0; int str_length = 0; if (dev->_audio_is_running) { @@ -756,8 +755,10 @@ int cx25821_audio_upstream_init(struct c str_length = strlen(dev->input_audiofilename); dev->_audiofilename = kmalloc(str_length + 1, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!dev->_audiofilename) + if (!dev->_audiofilename) { + retval = -ENOMEM; goto error; + } memcpy(dev->_audiofilename, dev->input_audiofilename, str_length + 1); @@ -770,8 +771,10 @@ int cx25821_audio_upstream_init(struct c str_length = strlen(_defaultAudioName); dev->_audiofilename = kmalloc(str_length + 1, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!dev->_audiofilename) + if (!dev->_audiofilename) { + retval = -ENOMEM; goto error; + } memcpy(dev->_audiofilename, _defaultAudioName, str_length + 1); } @@ -802,5 +805,5 @@ int cx25821_audio_upstream_init(struct c error: cx25821_dev_unregister(dev); - return err; + return retval; } diff -u -p a/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c b/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c --- a/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c +++ b/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c @@ -747,7 +747,6 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch2(struct struct sram_channel *sram_ch; u32 tmp; int retval = 0; - int err = 0; int data_frame_size = 0; int risc_buffer_size = 0; int str_length = 0; @@ -792,8 +791,10 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch2(struct str_length = strlen(dev->input_filename_ch2); dev->_filename_ch2 = kmalloc(str_length + 1, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!dev->_filename_ch2) + if (!dev->_filename_ch2) { + retval = -ENOMEM; goto error; + } memcpy(dev->_filename_ch2, dev->input_filename_ch2, str_length + 1); @@ -801,8 +802,10 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch2(struct str_length = strlen(dev->_defaultname_ch2); dev->_filename_ch2 = kmalloc(str_length + 1, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!dev->_filename_ch2) + if (!dev->_filename_ch2) { + retval = -ENOMEM; goto error; + } memcpy(dev->_filename_ch2, dev->_defaultname_ch2, str_length + 1); @@ -851,5 +854,5 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch2(struct error: cx25821_dev_unregister(dev); - return err; + return retval; } diff -u -p a/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream.c b/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream.c --- a/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream.c +++ b/drivers/staging/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream.c @@ -800,7 +800,6 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch1(struct struct sram_channel *sram_ch; u32 tmp; int retval = 0; - int err = 0; int data_frame_size = 0; int risc_buffer_size = 0; int str_length = 0; @@ -844,16 +843,20 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch1(struct str_length = strlen(dev->input_filename); dev->_filename = kmalloc(str_length + 1, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!dev->_filename) + if (!dev->_filename) { + retval = -ENOMEM; goto error; + } memcpy(dev->_filename, dev->input_filename, str_length + 1); } else { str_length = strlen(dev->_defaultname); dev->_filename = kmalloc(str_length + 1, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!dev->_filename) + if (!dev->_filename) { + retval = -ENOMEM; goto error; + } memcpy(dev->_filename, dev->_defaultname, str_length + 1); } @@ -908,5 +911,5 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch1(struct error: cx25821_dev_unregister(dev); - return err; + return retval; } _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
