[PATCH 2/9] net/rfkill/rfkill-gpio.c: introduce missing kfree

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Fri Dec 23 2011 - 12:41:10 EST


Error handling code following a kmalloc should free the allocated data.
The label fail_alloc already does this for rfkill.

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

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S;
identifier f1;
position p1,p2;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
<... when != x
when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
x->f1
...>
(
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>
