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. A simplified version of 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/leds/leds-powernv.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/leds/leds-powernv.c b/drivers/leds/leds-powernv.c index 2c5c5b1..1e75e1f 100644 --- a/drivers/leds/leds-powernv.c +++ b/drivers/leds/leds-powernv.c @@ -262,15 +262,19 @@ static int powernv_led_classdev(struct platform_device *pdev, while ((cur = of_prop_next_string(p, cur)) != NULL) { powernv_led = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*powernv_led), GFP_KERNEL); - if (!powernv_led) + if (!powernv_led) { + of_node_put(np); return -ENOMEM; + } powernv_led->common = powernv_led_common; powernv_led->loc_code = (char *)np->name; rc = powernv_led_create(dev, powernv_led, cur); - if (rc) + if (rc) { + of_node_put(np); return rc; + } } /* while end */ } -- 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
