The patch titled drivers/video: remove unnecessary pci_dev_put has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is drivers-video-remove-unnecessary-pci_dev_put.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/video: remove unnecessary pci_dev_put From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> pci_get_class implicitly does a pci_dev_put on its second argument, so pci_dev_put is only needed if there is a break out of the loop. The semantic match detecting this problem is as follows: // <smpl> @@ expression dev; expression E; @@ * pci_dev_put(dev) ... when != dev = E ( * pci_get_device(...,dev) | * pci_get_device_reverse(...,dev) | * pci_get_subsys(...,dev) | * pci_get_class(...,dev) ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Winischhofer <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Antonino A.
