for_each_child_of_node performs an of_node_get on each iteration, so a break out of the loop requires an of_node_put. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr): // <smpl> @@ expression root,e; local idexpression child; @@ for_each_child_of_node(root, child) { ... when != of_node_put(child) when != e = child ( return child; | + of_node_put(child); ? return ...; ) ... } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/power/charger-manager.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/power/charger-manager.c b/drivers/power/charger-manager.c index 907293e..1ea5d1a 100644 --- a/drivers/power/charger-manager.c +++ b/drivers/power/charger-manager.c @@ -1581,8 +1581,10 @@ static struct charger_desc *of_cm_parse_desc(struct device *dev) cables = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*cables) * chg_regs->num_cables, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!cables) + if (!cables) { + of_node_put(child); return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); + } chg_regs->cables = cables; -- 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
