From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> In an error handling case the lock is not unlocked. The return is converted to a goto, to share the unlock at the end of the function. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ expression E1; identifier f; @@ f (...) { <+... * spin_lock_irqsave (E1,...); ... when != E1 * return ...; ...+> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- Corrected patch.
