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/media/platform/xilinx/xilinx-vipp.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/platform/xilinx/xilinx-vipp.c b/drivers/media/platform/xilinx/xilinx-vipp.c index 7b7cb9c..b9bf24f 100644 --- a/drivers/media/platform/xilinx/xilinx-vipp.c +++ b/drivers/media/platform/xilinx/xilinx-vipp.c @@ -476,8 +476,10 @@ static int xvip_graph_dma_init(struct xvip_composite_device *xdev) for_each_child_of_node(ports, port) { ret = xvip_graph_dma_init_one(xdev, port); - if (ret < 0) + if (ret < 0) { + of_node_put(port); return ret; + } } return 0; -- 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
