Subject: [PATCH] drivers/char/ppdev.c: Put gotten port value
Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2011 18:51:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1303577483-16064-1-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> (raw)
parport_find_number calls parport_get_port on its result, so there should
be a corresponding call to parport_put_port before dropping the reference.
Similar code is found in the function register_device in the same file.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@exists@
local idexpression struct parport * x;
expression ra,rr;
statement S1,S2;
@@
x = parport_find_number(...)
... when != x = rr
when any
when != parport_put_port(x,...)
when != if (...) { ... parport_put_port(x,...) ...}
(
if(<+...x...+>) S1 else S2
|
if(...) { ... when != x = ra
when forall
when != parport_put_port(x,...)
*return...;
}
)
// </smpl>
