From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> The call to kzalloc is followed by a kmalloc whose result is stored in the same variable. The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; statement S; expression E; identifier f,l; position p1,p2; expression *ptr != NULL; @@ ( if ((x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...)) == NULL) S | x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...); ... if (x == NULL) S ) <... when != x when != if (...) { <+...x...+> } x->f = E ...> ( return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\); | return@p2 ...; ) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; @@ print "* file: %s kmalloc %s return %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- fs/btrfs/volumes.c | 4 ---- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c index 3451e1c..f1a0eee 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c @@ -2905,10 +2905,6 @@ static int read_one_chunk(struct btrfs_root *root, struct btrfs_key *key, free_extent_map(em); } - map = kzalloc(sizeof(*map), GFP_NOFS); - if (!map) - return -ENOMEM; - em = alloc_extent_map(GFP_NOFS); if (!em) return -ENOMEM; -- 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
