[PATCH 2/2] arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In this case, a device_node structure is stored in another structure that
is then freed without first decrementing the reference count of the
device_node structure.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
expression x;
identifier f;
position p1,p2;
@@

x@p1->f = \(of_find_node_by_path\|of_find_node_by_name\|of_find_node_by_phandle\|of_get_parent\|of_get_next_parent\|of_get_next_child\|of_find_compatible_node\|of_match_node\|of_find_node_by_type\|of_find_node_with_property\|of_find_matching_node\|of_parse_phandle\|of_node_get\)(...);
... when != of_node_put(x)
