This function is implemented as though the function of_get_next_child does not increment the reference count of its result, but actually it does. Thus the patch adds of_node_put in error handling code and drops a call to of_node_get. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E1; position p1,p2; @@ x@p1 = of_get_next_child(...); ... when != x = E1 of_node_get@p2(x) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; @@ cocci.print_main("call",p1) cocci.print_secs("get",p2) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/efika.c | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/efika.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/efika.c index 45c0cb9..18c1048 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/efika.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/efika.c @@ -99,7 +99,7 @@ static void __init efika_pcisetup(void) if (bus_range == NULL || len < 2 * sizeof(int)) { printk(KERN_WARNING EFIKA_PLATFORM_NAME ": Can't get bus-range for %s\n", pcictrl->full_name); - return; + goto out_put; } if (bus_range[1] == bus_range[0]) @@ -111,12 +111,12 @@ static void __init efika_pcisetup(void) printk(" controlled by %s\n", pcictrl->full_name); printk("\n"); - hose = pcibios_alloc_controller(of_node_get(pcictrl)); + hose = pcibios_alloc_controller(pcictrl); if (!hose) { printk(KERN_WARNING EFIKA_PLATFORM_NAME ": Can't allocate PCI controller structure for %s\n", pcictrl->full_name); - return; + goto out_put; } hose->first_busno = bus_range[0]; @@ -124,6 +124,9 @@ static void __init efika_pcisetup(void) hose->ops = &rtas_pci_ops; pci_process_bridge_OF_ranges(hose, pcictrl, 0); + return; +out_put: + of_node_put(pcictrl); } #else -- 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
