The patch titled drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/main.c: release mutex in error handling code has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-net-wireless-b43legacy-mainc-release-mutex-in-error-handling-code.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/main.c: release mutex in error handling code From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> The mutex is released on a successful return, so it would seem that it should be released on an error return as well. The semantic patch finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression l; @@ mutex_lock(l); ... when != mutex_unlock(l) when any when strict ( if (...) { ... when != mutex_unlock(l) + mutex_unlock(l); return ...; } | mutex_unlock(l); ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Cc: John W.
