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 of_node_put is duplicated in front of each error return, because the function contains a later error return that is beyond the end of the for_each_child_of_node and thus doesn't need of_node_put. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr): // <smpl> @@ expression root,e; local idexpression child; iterator name for_each_child_of_node; @@ for_each_child_of_node(root, child) { ... when != of_node_put(child) when != e = child ( return child; | + of_node_put(child); ? return ...; ) ... } @@ expression root,e; local idexpression child; @@ for_each_child_of_node(root, child) { ... when != of_node_put(child) when != e = child + of_node_put(child); ? break; ... } ... when != child // </smpl> Additionally, concatenated a string in an affected line to avoid introducing a checkpatch warning.
