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. In this case, the return under the initial if needs a pci_dev_put in the same way that the return under the subsequent for loop has a pci_dev_put. This was fixed using the following semantic patch. // <smpl> @@ type T; identifier d; expression e; @@ T *d; ... while ((d = \(pci_get_device\|pci_get_device_reverse\|pci_get_subsys\|pci_get_class\)(..., d)) != NULL) {... 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/sound/core/memalloc.c b/sound/core/memalloc.c --- a/sound/core/memalloc.c 2007-10-22 11:25:51.000000000 +0200 +++ b/sound/core/memalloc.c 2007-11-19 08:08:08.000000000 +0100 @@ -568,6 +568,7 @@ static ssize_t snd_mem_proc_write(struct if (pci_set_dma_mask(pci, mask) < 0 || pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, mask) < 0) { printk(KERN_ERR "snd-page-alloc: cannot set DMA mask %lx for pci %04x:%04x\n", mask, vendor, device); + pci_dev_put(pci); return count; } } - 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
