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> @@ expression root,e; local idexpression child; @@ for_each_available_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/iio/adc/qcom-spmi-vadc.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/adc/qcom-spmi-vadc.c b/drivers/iio/adc/qcom-spmi-vadc.c index 0c4618b..c2babe5 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/adc/qcom-spmi-vadc.c +++ b/drivers/iio/adc/qcom-spmi-vadc.c @@ -839,8 +839,10 @@ static int vadc_get_dt_data(struct vadc_priv *vadc, struct device_node *node) for_each_available_child_of_node(node, child) { ret = vadc_get_dt_channel_data(vadc->dev, &prop, child); - if (ret) + if (ret) { + of_node_put(child); return ret; + } vadc->chan_props[index] = prop; -- 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
