[PATCH 9/9] drivers/net/wireless/wl1251: add missing kfree

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Mon Aug 08 2011 - 07:18:33 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

In each case, the kfree already at the end of the function is also needed
in the error case.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S,S1;
expression E;
identifier fl;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
<... when != x
when != if (...) { <+...kfree(x)...+> }
when any
when != true x == NULL
x->fl
...>
(
if (x == NULL) S1
|
if (...) { ... when != x
when forall
(
return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);
|
* return ...;
)
}
)
// </smpl>
