for_each_compatible_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 e; local idexpression n; @@ @@ local idexpression n; expression e; @@ for_each_compatible_node(n,...) { ... ( of_node_put(n); | e = n | + of_node_put(n); ? break; ) ... } ... when != n // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/hlwd-pic.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/hlwd-pic.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/hlwd-pic.c index 9b79757..b581b42 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/hlwd-pic.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/hlwd-pic.c @@ -215,6 +215,7 @@ void hlwd_pic_probe(void) irq_set_chained_handler(cascade_virq, hlwd_pic_irq_cascade); hlwd_irq_host = host; + of_node_put(np); break; } } -- 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
