From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> of_node_put is needed before discarding a value received from of_find_node_by_name, 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; statement S; identifier f; expression E; constant C; @@ n = of_find_node_by_name(...) ... if (!n) S ... when != of_node_put(n) when != n1 = f(n,...) when != E = n when any when strict ( + of_node_put(n); return -C; | of_node_put(n); | n1 = f(n,...) | E = n | return ...; ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- diff -u -p a/drivers/macintosh/therm_adt746x.c b/drivers/macintosh/therm_adt746x.c --- a/drivers/macintosh/therm_adt746x.c +++ b/drivers/macintosh/therm_adt746x.c @@ -562,18 +562,24 @@ thermostat_init(void) therm_type = ADT7460; else if (of_device_is_compatible(np, "adt7467")) therm_type = ADT7467; - else + else { + of_node_put(np); return -ENODEV; + } prop = of_get_property(np, "hwsensor-params-version", NULL); printk(KERN_INFO "adt746x: version %d (%ssupported)\n", *prop, (*prop == 1)?"":"un"); - if (*prop != 1) + if (*prop != 1) { + of_node_put(np); return -ENODEV; + } prop = of_get_property(np, "reg", NULL); - if (!prop) + if (!prop) { + of_node_put(np); return -ENODEV; + } /* look for bus either by path or using "reg" */ if (strstr(np->full_name, "/i2c-bus@") != NULL) { @@ -610,5 +616,6 @@ thermostat_init(void) if (of_dev == NULL) { printk(KERN_ERR "Can't register temperatures device !\n"); + of_node_put(np); return -ENODEV; } -- 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
