Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to of_find_node_by_type. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E,E1,E2; statement S; @@ *x = (of_find_node_by_path |of_find_node_by_name |of_find_node_by_phandle |of_get_parent |of_get_next_parent |of_get_next_child |of_find_compatible_node |of_match_node |of_find_node_by_type |of_find_node_with_property |of_find_matching_node |of_parse_phandle )(...); ... if (x == NULL) S <... when != x = E *if (...) { ... when != of_node_put(x) when != if (...) { ... of_node_put(x); ... } ( return <+...x...+>; | * return ...; ) } ...> ( E2 = x; | of_node_put(x); ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/platforms/chrp/nvram.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/chrp/nvram.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/chrp/nvram.c index ba3588f..d3ceff0 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/chrp/nvram.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/chrp/nvram.c @@ -74,8 +74,10 @@ void __init chrp_nvram_init(void) return; nbytes_p = of_get_property(nvram, "#bytes", &proplen); - if (nbytes_p == NULL || proplen != sizeof(unsigned int)) + if (nbytes_p == NULL || proplen != sizeof(unsigned int)) { + of_node_put(nvram); return; + } nvram_size = *nbytes_p; -- 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
