The patch titled drivers/char: remove unnecessary pci_dev_put has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-char-remove-unnecessary-pci_dev_put.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: drivers/char: 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: Dave Airlie <airlied@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/agp/amd-k7-agp.c | 4 ---- 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) diff -puN drivers/char/agp/amd-k7-agp.c~drivers-char-remove-unnecessary-pci_dev_put drivers/char/agp/amd-k7-agp.c --- a/drivers/char/agp/amd-k7-agp.c~drivers-char-remove-unnecessary-pci_dev_put +++ a/drivers/char/agp/amd-k7-agp.c @@ -436,10 +436,6 @@ static int __devinit agp_amdk7_probe(str return -ENODEV; } cap_ptr = pci_find_capability(gfxcard, PCI_CAP_ID_AGP); - if (!cap_ptr) { - pci_dev_put(gfxcard); - continue; - } } /* With so many variants of NVidia cards, it's simpler just _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from julia@xxxxxxx are origin.patch drivers-macintosh-via-pmuc-added-a-missing-iounmap.patch git-alsa.patch git-agpgart.patch arch-ppc-remove-an-unnecessary-pci_dev_put.patch arch-powerpc-add-missing-of_node_put.patch arch-powerpc-platforms-cell-cbe_regsc-add-missing-of_node_put.patch git-input.patch arch-cris-added-a-missing-iounmap.patch drivers-video-remove-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
