From eabd0eaf4f390df102cd24a87300b0e5150cf189 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:39:34 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_usb_drv.c: shift position of allocation code The conditional after the kzalloc says that the tested expression should never be true, but if it were, the allocated data would have to be freed. This change just moves the allocation below the test, to avoid any possibility of the problem. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) // @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) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_usb_drv.c | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_usb_drv.c b/drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_usb_drv.c index 7bcb28cdbabe..d775be0173ea 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_usb_drv.c +++ b/drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_usb_drv.c @@ -353,12 +353,6 @@ static int as102_usb_probe(struct usb_interface *intf, ENTER(); - as102_dev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct as102_dev_t), GFP_KERNEL); - if (as102_dev == NULL) { - err("%s: kzalloc failed", __func__); - return -ENOMEM; - } - /* This should never actually happen */ if ((sizeof(as102_usb_id_table) / sizeof(struct usb_device_id)) != (sizeof(as102_device_names) / sizeof(const char *))) { @@ -366,6 +360,12 @@ static int as102_usb_probe(struct usb_interface *intf, return -EINVAL; } + as102_dev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct as102_dev_t), GFP_KERNEL); + if (as102_dev == NULL) { + err("%s: kzalloc failed", __func__); + return -ENOMEM; + } + /* Assign the user-friendly device name */ for (i = 0; i < (sizeof(as102_usb_id_table) / sizeof(struct usb_device_id)); i++) { -- 2.39.5
