Re: [Cocci] [PATCH] staging/rdma/hfi1: Fix a possible null pointer dereference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Here is my proposition for finding missing NULL tests.  I tried to limit 
it to generic kmalloc like functions.  There are of course many other NULL 
returning functions, but maybe they could be in an other rule,

julia

---

/// Look for kmalloc etc that are not followed by a NULL check.
//# May give a false positive when the dereference is an argument of sizeof, or
//# when the value is passed to another function that returns an error code.
