Re: [PATCH] drivers/media/video: avoid NULL dereference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

It seems impossible for ov to be NULL at this point.

The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
expression E, E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S3;
iterator iter;
@@

if ((E == NULL && ...) || ...)
{
  ... when != false ((E == NULL && ...) || ...)
      when != true  ((E != NULL && ...) || ...)
      when != iter(E,...) S1
      when != E = E1
(
  sizeof(E->f)
|
* E->f
)
  ... when any
  return ...;
}
else S3
// </smpl>
