Subject: [PATCH 4/6] drivers/pci: introduce missing kfree
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2009 22:45:24 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0902082244490.25891@ask.diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Error handling code following a kmalloc should free the allocated data.
Since the subsequent code that could provoke an error does not use the
allocated data, the allocation is just moved below it.

The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S;
expression E;
identifier f,l;
position p1,p2;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

(
if ((x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...)) == NULL) S
|
x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
)
<... when != x
     when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
x->f = E
...>
(
 return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);
|
 return@p2 ...;
)

@script:python@
p1 << r.p1;
p2 << r.p2;
@@

print "* file: %s kmalloc %s return %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line)
// </smpl>
