The call to of_find_node_by_name returns a node pointer with refcount incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last usage. Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings: ./drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_core.c:55:1-7: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 42, but without a corresponding object release within this function Signed-off-by: Wen Yang <wen.yang99@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-pci@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linuxppc-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_core.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_core.c b/drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_core.c index e2356a9..f3f42ff 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_core.c +++ b/drivers/pci/hotplug/rpadlpar_core.c @@ -52,6 +52,7 @@ static struct device_node *find_vio_slot_node(char *drc_name) break; } + of_node_put(parent); return dn; } -- 2.9.5
