Hello Haneen Mohammed, The patch 2c9356d115c9: "Staging: media: replace pr_* with dev_*" from Mar 18, 2015, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_sasem.c:176 delete_context() error: dereferencing freed memory 'context' drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_sasem.c 166 static void delete_context(struct sasem_context *context) 167 { 168 usb_free_urb(context->tx_urb); /* VFD */ 169 usb_free_urb(context->rx_urb); /* IR */ 170 lirc_buffer_free(context->driver->rbuf); 171 kfree(context->driver->rbuf); 172 kfree(context->driver); 173 kfree(context); ^^^^^^^ Free. 174 175 if (debug) 176 dev_info(&context->dev->dev, "%s: context deleted\n", ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Use after free. We could go back to pr_info(), or move this in front of the free or probably the best option is just to delete the printk. It doesn't look very useful. 177 __func__); 178 } regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
