for_each_available_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> @@ local idexpression r.n; expression r,e; @@ for_each_available_child_of_node(r,n) { ... ( of_node_put(n); | e = n | + of_node_put(n); ? break; ) ... } ... when != n // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux.c b/drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux.c index 280c7c3..908e8d4 100644 --- a/drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux.c +++ b/drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux.c @@ -144,6 +144,7 @@ int mdio_mux_init(struct device *dev, dev_err(dev, "Error: Failed to allocate memory for child\n"); ret_val = -ENOMEM; + of_node_put(child_bus_node); break; } cb->bus_number = v; -- 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
