A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @exists@ local idexpression x; statement S,S1; expression E; identifier fl; expression *ptr != NULL; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...); ... if (x == NULL) S <... when != x when != if (...) { <+...kfree(x)...+> } when any when != true x == NULL x->fl ...> ( if (x == NULL) S1 | if (...) { ... when != x when forall ( return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\); | * return ...; ) } ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/acx.c | 6 +----- drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/cmd.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/acx.c b/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/acx.c index ef8370e..ad87a1a 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/acx.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/acx.c @@ -140,8 +140,6 @@ int wl1251_acx_sleep_auth(struct wl1251 *wl, u8 sleep_auth) auth->sleep_auth = sleep_auth; ret = wl1251_cmd_configure(wl, ACX_SLEEP_AUTH, auth, sizeof(*auth)); - if (ret < 0) - return ret; out: kfree(auth); @@ -681,10 +679,8 @@ int wl1251_acx_cca_threshold(struct wl1251 *wl) ret = wl1251_cmd_configure(wl, ACX_CCA_THRESHOLD, detection, sizeof(*detection)); - if (ret < 0) { + if (ret < 0) wl1251_warning("failed to set cca threshold: %d", ret); - return ret; - } out: kfree(detection); diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/cmd.c b/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/cmd.c index 81f164b..d14d69d 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/cmd.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/cmd.c @@ -241,7 +241,7 @@ int wl1251_cmd_data_path(struct wl1251 *wl, u8 channel, bool enable) if (ret < 0) { wl1251_error("tx %s cmd for channel %d failed", enable ?
