From: Julia Lawall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> of_node_put is needed before discarding a value received from of_find_node_by_type, eg in error handling code.
The semantic patch that makes the change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ struct device_node *n; struct device_node *n1; struct device_node *n2; statement S; identifier f1,f2; expression E1,E2; constant C; @@ n = of_find_node_by_type(...) ... if (!n) S ... when != of_node_put(n) when != n1 = f1(n,...) when != E1 = n when any when strict ( + of_node_put(n); return -C; | of_node_put(n); | n2 = f2(n,...) | E2 = n | return ...; ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- diff -u -p a/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/nvram.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/nvram.c --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/nvram.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/nvram.c @@ -131,8 +131,10 @@ int __init pSeries_nvram_init(void) return -ENODEV; nbytes_p = of_get_property(nvram, "#bytes", &proplen); - if (nbytes_p == NULL || proplen != sizeof(unsigned int)) + if (nbytes_p == NULL || proplen != sizeof(unsigned int)) { + of_node_put(nvram); return -EIO; + } nvram_size = *nbytes_p; _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
