SubjectRe: [PATCH 6/10] drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi: introduce missing kfree
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Move orthogonal error handling code up before a kzalloc, so that it
doesn't have to free the allocated data.

The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

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

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