From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Error handling code following a kmalloc should free the allocated data. The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E; identifier f,f1; position p1,p2; @@ x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...); <... when != x when != if (...) { <+...x...+> } when != (x) == NULL when != (x) != NULL when != (x) == 0 when != (x) != 0 ( x->f1 = E | (x->f1 == NULL || ...) | f(...,x->f1,...) ) ...> ( return <+...x...+>; | 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> --- Another problem with this code is that there is no error checking for the calls to kzalloc that are used to initialize fw_control_context. But the existing error handling code mostly returns the result of pm8001_tag_alloc, which uses constants of the enumerated type exec_status, defined in include/scsi/libsas.h, and it is not clear which of these values should be used in the case of insufficient memory. Nevertheless, one of the functions affected by this patch does return -ENOMEM in case of insufficient memory. drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c | 13 ++++++++++--- 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c b/drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c index 58d1134..9793aa6 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c @@ -4199,8 +4199,10 @@ static int pm8001_chip_get_nvmd_req(struct pm8001_hba_info *pm8001_ha, circularQ = &pm8001_ha->inbnd_q_tbl[0]; memset(&nvmd_req, 0, sizeof(nvmd_req)); rc = pm8001_tag_alloc(pm8001_ha, &tag); - if (rc) + if (rc) { + kfree(fw_control_context); return rc; + } ccb = &pm8001_ha->ccb_info[tag]; ccb->ccb_tag = tag; ccb->fw_control_context = fw_control_context; @@ -4276,8 +4278,10 @@ static int pm8001_chip_set_nvmd_req(struct pm8001_hba_info *pm8001_ha, ioctl_payload->length); memset(&nvmd_req, 0, sizeof(nvmd_req)); rc = pm8001_tag_alloc(pm8001_ha, &tag); - if (rc) + if (rc) { + kfree(fw_control_context); return rc; + } ccb = &pm8001_ha->ccb_info[tag]; ccb->fw_control_context = fw_control_context; ccb->ccb_tag = tag; @@ -4387,6 +4391,7 @@ pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_req(struct pm8001_hba_info *pm8001_ha, fw_control->len, 0) != 0) { PM8001_FAIL_DBG(pm8001_ha, pm8001_printk("Mem alloc failure\n")); + kfree(fw_control_context); return -ENOMEM; } } @@ -4401,8 +4406,10 @@ pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_req(struct pm8001_hba_info *pm8001_ha, fw_control_context->virtAddr = buffer; fw_control_context->len = fw_control->len; rc = pm8001_tag_alloc(pm8001_ha, &tag); - if (rc) + if (rc) { + kfree(fw_control_context); return rc; + } ccb = &pm8001_ha->ccb_info[tag]; ccb->fw_control_context = fw_control_context; ccb->ccb_tag = tag; -- 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
