Stream_bufs is initialized at the beginning of the function, and then the #ifdef code declares a new variable with the same name and initializes that. If the if in the ifdef is taken, the then branch returns, implying that the first stream_bufs is never used and is leaked. The first initialization is thus moved down after the ifdef. The semantic match that finds the 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> --- drivers/staging/intel_sst/intel_sst_app_interface.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/intel_sst/intel_sst_app_interface.c b/drivers/staging/intel_sst/intel_sst_app_interface.c index a367991..401961a 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/intel_sst/intel_sst_app_interface.c +++ b/drivers/staging/intel_sst/intel_sst_app_interface.c @@ -418,10 +418,6 @@ static int snd_sst_fill_kernel_list(struct stream_info *stream, static int sent_offset; static unsigned long sent_index; - stream_bufs = kzalloc(sizeof(*stream_bufs), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!stream_bufs) - return -ENOMEM; - stream_bufs->addr = sst_drv_ctx->mmap_mem; #ifdef CONFIG_MRST_RAR_HANDLER if (stream->ops == STREAM_OPS_PLAYBACK_DRM) { for (index = stream->sg_index; index < nr_segs; index++) { @@ -448,6 +444,10 @@ static int snd_sst_fill_kernel_list(struct stream_info *stream, return retval; } #endif + stream_bufs = kzalloc(sizeof(*stream_bufs), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!stream_bufs) + return -ENOMEM; + stream_bufs->addr = sst_drv_ctx->mmap_mem; mmap_len = sst_drv_ctx->mmap_len; stream_bufs->addr = sst_drv_ctx->mmap_mem; bufp = stream->cur_ptr; _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
