The patch titled drivers/misc: Move misplaced pci_dev_put's has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is drivers-misc-move-misplaced-pci_dev_puts.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: drivers/misc: Move misplaced pci_dev_put's From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Move pci_dev_put outside the loops in which it occurs. Within the loop, pci_dev_put is done implicitly by pci_get_device. The problem was detected using the following semantic patch, and corrected by hand. @@ expression dev; expression E; @@ - pci_dev_put(dev) ... when != dev = E - pci_get_device(...,dev) Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/misc/ioc4.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff -puN drivers/misc/ioc4.c~drivers-misc-move-misplaced-pci_dev_puts drivers/misc/ioc4.c --- a/drivers/misc/ioc4.c~drivers-misc-move-misplaced-pci_dev_puts +++ a/drivers/misc/ioc4.c @@ -244,10 +244,11 @@ ioc4_variant(struct ioc4_driver_data *id idd->idd_pdev->bus->number == pdev->bus->number && 3 == PCI_SLOT(pdev->devfn)) found = 1; - pci_dev_put(pdev); } while (pdev && !found); - if (NULL != pdev) + if (NULL != pdev) { + pci_dev_put(pdev); return IOC4_VARIANT_IO9; + } /* IO10: Look for a Vitesse VSC 7174 at the same bus and slot 3. */ pdev = NULL; @@ -258,10 +259,11 @@ ioc4_variant(struct ioc4_driver_data *id idd->idd_pdev->bus->number == pdev->bus->number && 3 == PCI_SLOT(pdev->devfn)) found = 1; - pci_dev_put(pdev); } while (pdev && !found); - if (NULL != pdev) + if (NULL != pdev) { + pci_dev_put(pdev); return IOC4_VARIANT_IO10; + } /* PCI-RT: No SCSI/SATA controller will be present */ return IOC4_VARIANT_PCI_RT; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from julia@xxxxxxx are drivers-misc-move-misplaced-pci_dev_puts.patch arch-ppc-remove-an-unnecessary-pci_dev_put.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
