From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> dma_channel_np has been accessed at this point, so decrease its reference count before leaving the function. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier x; expression E1!=0,E2,E3,E4; statement S; iterator I; @@ ( if (...) { ... when != of_node_put(x) when != x = E3 when != E3 = x * return ...; } ... when != x = E2 when != I(...,x,...)
