From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> There should be a pci_dev_put when breaking out of a loop that iterates over calls to pci_get_device and similar functions. This was fixed using the following semantic patch. // <smpl> @@ identifier d; type T; expression e; iterator for_each_pci_dev; @@ T *d; ... for_each_pci_dev(d) {... when != pci_dev_put(d) when != e = d ( return d; | + pci_dev_put(d); ? return ...; ) ...} // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- diff -u -p a/drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c b/drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c --- a/drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c 2007-07-20 17:45:56.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c 2007-11-19 08:17:43.000000000 +0100 @@ -702,8 +702,10 @@ static int __init pci_sysfs_init(void) sysfs_initialized = 1; for_each_pci_dev(pdev) { retval = pci_create_sysfs_dev_files(pdev); - if (retval) + if (retval) { + pci_dev_put(pdev); return retval; + } } return 0; - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
