From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Check that the result of kmalloc is not NULL before passing it to other functions. In the first two cases, the new code returns -ENOMEM, which seems compatible with what is done for similar functions for other architectures. In the last two cases, the new code fails silently, ie just returns, because the function has void return type. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression *x; identifier f; constant char *C; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...); ... when != x == NULL when != x != NULL when != (x || ...) ( kfree(x) | f(...,C,...,x,...) | *f(...,x,...) | *x->f ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- arch/blackfin/mach-common/smp.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/blackfin/mach-common/smp.c b/arch/blackfin/mach-common/smp.c index 6184005..10dd298 100644 --- a/arch/blackfin/mach-common/smp.c +++ b/arch/blackfin/mach-common/smp.c @@ -211,6 +211,8 @@ int smp_call_function(void (*func)(void *info), void *info, int wait) return 0; msg = kmalloc(sizeof(*msg), GFP_ATOMIC); + if (!msg) + return -ENOMEM; INIT_LIST_HEAD(&msg->list); msg->call_struct.func = func; msg->call_struct.info = info; @@ -252,6 +254,8 @@ int smp_call_function_single(int cpuid, void (*func) (void *info), void *info, cpu_set(cpu, callmap); msg = kmalloc(sizeof(*msg), GFP_ATOMIC); + if (!msg) + return -ENOMEM; INIT_LIST_HEAD(&msg->list); msg->call_struct.func = func; msg->call_struct.info = info; @@ -287,6 +291,8 @@ void smp_send_reschedule(int cpu) return; msg = kmalloc(sizeof(*msg), GFP_ATOMIC); + if (!msg) + return; memset(msg, 0, sizeof(msg)); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&msg->list); msg->type = BFIN_IPI_RESCHEDULE; @@ -314,6 +320,8 @@ void smp_send_stop(void) return; msg = kmalloc(sizeof(*msg), GFP_ATOMIC); + if (!msg) + return; memset(msg, 0, sizeof(msg)); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&msg->list); msg->type = BFIN_IPI_CPU_STOP; -- 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
