From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> of_node_put is needed before discarding a value received from of_find_node_by_type, eg in error handling code. The semantic patch that makes the change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ struct device_node *n; struct device_node *n1; struct device_node *n2; statement S; identifier f1,f2; expression E1,E2; constant C; @@ n = of_find_node_by_type(...) ... if (!n) S ... when != of_node_put(n) when != n1 = f1(n,...) when != E1 = n when any when strict ( + of_node_put(n); return -C; | of_node_put(n); | n2 = f2(n,...) | E2 = n | return ...; ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- diff -u -p a/drivers/macintosh/smu.c b/drivers/macintosh/smu.c --- a/drivers/macintosh/smu.c +++ b/drivers/macintosh/smu.c @@ -483,12 +483,15 @@ int __init smu_init (void) if (smu_cmdbuf_abs == 0) { printk(KERN_ERR "SMU: Command buffer not allocated !\n"); + of_node_put(np); return -EINVAL; } smu = alloc_bootmem(sizeof(struct smu_device)); - if (smu == NULL) + if (smu == NULL) { + of_node_put(np); return -ENOMEM; + } memset(smu, 0, sizeof(*smu)); spin_lock_init(&smu->lock); -- 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
