From a655237fa2f9e4afe9949abe2c511432ab9537dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sat, 4 Sep 2010 00:12:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/irq.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak In this case, a device_node structure is stored in another structure that is then freed without first decrementing the reference count of the device_node structure. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @r exists@ expression x; identifier f; position p1,p2; @@ x@p1->f = \(of_find_node_by_path\|of_find_node_by_name\|of_find_node_by_phandle\|of_get_parent\|of_get_next_parent\|of_get_next_child\|of_find_compatible_node\|of_match_node\|of_find_node_by_type\|of_find_node_with_property\|of_find_matching_node\|of_parse_phandle\|of_node_get\)(...); ... when != of_node_put(x) kfree@p2(x) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; @@ cocci.print_main("call",p1) cocci.print_secs("free",p2) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt --- arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c index 47fbc56e9e1c..4002b48fd607 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c @@ -587,8 +587,10 @@ struct irq_host *irq_alloc_host(struct device_node *of_node, * this will be fixed once slab is made available early * instead of the current cruft */ - if (mem_init_done) + if (mem_init_done) { + of_node_put(host->of_node); kfree(host); + } return NULL; } irq_map[0].host = host; -- GitLab
