From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> This allows the following struct fwnode_handle *child __free(kfree) = NULL; device_for_each_child_node(dev, child) { if (false) return -EINVAL; } without the fwnode_handle_put() call which tends to complicate early exits from such loops and lead to resource leak bugs. Can also be used where the fwnode_handle was obtained from a call such as fwnode_find_reference() as it will safely do nothing if IS_ERR() is true. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v1: Thanks to Andy for reviewing the RFC. Add check for if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(_T)) to allow the compiler to optimize cases where it knows the passed in parameter is NULL or an error pointer. --- include/linux/property.h | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/linux/property.h b/include/linux/property.h index 2b8f07fc68a9..9f3190d902ab 100644 --- a/include/linux/property.h +++ b/include/linux/property.h @@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ #include <linux/args.h> #include <linux/bits.h> +#include <linux/cleanup.h> #include <linux/fwnode.h> #include <linux/stddef.h> #include <linux/types.h> @@ -161,6 +162,8 @@ struct fwnode_handle *device_get_named_child_node(const struct device *dev, struct fwnode_handle *fwnode_handle_get(struct fwnode_handle *fwnode); void fwnode_handle_put(struct fwnode_handle *fwnode); +DEFINE_FREE(fwnode_handle, struct fwnode_handle *, + if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(_T)) fwnode_handle_put(_T)) int fwnode_irq_get(const struct fwnode_handle *fwnode, unsigned int index); int fwnode_irq_get_byname(const struct fwnode_handle *fwnode, const char *name); -- 2.43.0
