for_each_node_with_property performs an of_node_get on each iteration, so a break out of the loop requires an of_node_put. This was done using the Coccinelle semantic patch iterators/for_each_child.cocci Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/kexec/file_load_64.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/arch/powerpc/kexec/file_load_64.c b/arch/powerpc/kexec/file_load_64.c --- a/arch/powerpc/kexec/file_load_64.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kexec/file_load_64.c @@ -1138,11 +1138,15 @@ static int update_pci_dma_nodes(void *fd continue; ret = copy_property(fdt, pci_offset, dn, "ibm,dma-window"); - if (ret < 0) + if (ret < 0) { + of_node_put(dn); break; + } ret = copy_property(fdt, pci_offset, dn, dmapropname); - if (ret < 0) + if (ret < 0) { + of_node_put(dn); break; + } } return ret;
