Hi Mike, Here is the buggy line:
861 err_out:
862 cti_pm_release(drvdata);
^^^^^^^
To me it's a red flag any time there is a label called "out:". The
label should say what is being released like "goto unregister_notifier;".
The style of error handling here is called a "free everything function"
and it is the most error prone style of error handling.
A better way to write error handling is to track the most recently
allocated resource and free it with a well named goto.
a = alloc();
if (!a)
return -ENOMEM;
b = alloc();
if (!b) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto free_a;
}
c = alloc();
if (!c) {
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto free_b;
...
return 0;
free_b:
free(b);
free_a:
free(a);
The advantage of this is that 1) You only have to track the most recent
allocation. 2) You can easily verify that the most recent allocation
is freed. 3) Now you can create a free function by copy and pasting
and adding a free(c);
void my_free(struct whatever *p)
{
free(c);
free(b);
free(a);
}
This style uses about the same number of lines of code because although
we duplicate the free(b) and free(a), we can remove some if statements
so it ends up being about the same.
The main problem with free everything function is that they free things
which have not been allocated. I have added more explanation at the
bottom of this bug report.
I am also sending a patch which hopefully is clear but I can't actually
compile it. :(
