From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Move orthogonal error handling code up before a kzalloc, so that it doesn't have to free the allocated data. The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; statement S; expression E; identifier f,f1,l; position p1,p2; expression *ptr != NULL; @@ x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...); ... if (x == NULL) S <... when != x when != if (...) { <+...x...+> } ( x->f1 = E | (x->f1 == NULL || ...) | f(...,x->f1,...) ) ...> ( return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\); | return@p2 ...; ) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; @@ print "* file: %s kmalloc %s return %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debugfs.c | 12 ++++++------ 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debugfs.c b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debugfs.c index 7707a26..6748a3f 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debugfs.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-debugfs.c @@ -310,18 +310,18 @@ static ssize_t iwl_dbgfs_nvm_read(struct file *file, return -ENODATA; } + ptr = priv->eeprom; + if (!ptr) { + IWL_ERR(priv, "Invalid EEPROM/OTP memory\n"); + return -ENOMEM; + } + /* 4 characters for byte 0xYY */ buf = kzalloc(buf_size, GFP_KERNEL); if (!buf) { IWL_ERR(priv, "Can not allocate Buffer\n"); return -ENOMEM; } - - ptr = priv->eeprom; - if (!ptr) { - IWL_ERR(priv, "Invalid EEPROM/OTP memory\n"); - return -ENOMEM; - } pos += scnprintf(buf + pos, buf_size - pos, "NVM Type: %s\n", (priv->nvm_device_type == NVM_DEVICE_TYPE_OTP) ?
