From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> In each case, the freed data should be freed in the error handling code as well. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @exists@ local idexpression x; statement S,S1; expression E; identifier fl; expression *ptr != NULL; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...); ... if (x == NULL) S <... when != x when != if (...) { <+...kfree(x)...+> } when any when != true x == NULL x->fl ...> ( if (x == NULL) S1 | if (...) { ... when != x when forall ( return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\); | * return ...; ) } ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/acx.c | 6 +----- drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/testmode.c | 5 ++++- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/testmode.c b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/testmode.c index 5d5e1ef..88add68 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/testmode.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/testmode.c @@ -139,12 +139,15 @@ static int wl1271_tm_cmd_interrogate(struct wl1271 *wl, struct nlattr *tb[]) if (ret < 0) { wl1271_warning("testmode cmd interrogate failed: %d", ret); + kfree(cmd); return ret; } skb = cfg80211_testmode_alloc_reply_skb(wl->hw->wiphy, sizeof(*cmd)); - if (!skb) + if (!skb) { + kfree(cmd); return -ENOMEM; + } NLA_PUT(skb, WL1271_TM_ATTR_DATA, sizeof(*cmd), cmd); diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/acx.c b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/acx.c index 7e33f1f..34f6ab5 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/acx.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/acx.c @@ -77,8 +77,6 @@ int wl1271_acx_sleep_auth(struct wl1271 *wl, u8 sleep_auth) auth->sleep_auth = sleep_auth; ret = wl1271_cmd_configure(wl, ACX_SLEEP_AUTH, auth, sizeof(*auth)); - if (ret < 0) - return ret; out: kfree(auth); @@ -624,10 +622,8 @@ int wl1271_acx_cca_threshold(struct wl1271 *wl) ret = wl1271_cmd_configure(wl, ACX_CCA_THRESHOLD, detection, sizeof(*detection)); - if (ret < 0) { + if (ret < 0) wl1271_warning("failed to set cca threshold: %d", ret); - return ret; - } out: kfree(detection); -- 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
