[PATCH 4/4] sound/aoa/fabrics/layout.c: remove unneeded kfree

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Sat Aug 20 2011 - 02:13:28 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

The label outnodev is only used when kzalloc has not yet taken place or has
failed, so there is no need for the call for kfree under this label.

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

// <smpl>
@@
identifier x;
expression E1!=0,E2,E3,E4;
statement S;
iterator I;
@@

(
if (...) { ... when != kfree(x)
when != x = E3
when != E3 = x
* return ...;
}
... when != x = E2
when != I(...,x,...) S
if (...) { ... when != x = E4
kfree(x); ... return ...; }
)
// </smpl>
