[POWERPC] arch/powerpc/sysdev: Add missing of_node_put
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> The functions of_find_compatible_node and of_find_node_by_type both call of_node_get on their result. So any error handling code thereafter should call of_node_put(np). This is taken care of in the case where there is a goto out, but not when there is a direct return. The function irq_alloc_host puts np into the returned structure, …

drivers/pcmcia: add missing pci_dev_get
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> pci_get_slot does a pci_dev_get, so pci_dev_put needs to be called in an error case. An extract of the semantic match used to find the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ type find1.T,T1,T2; identifier find1.E; statement find1.S; expression x1,x2,x3; expression find1.test; int ret != 0; @@ T E; … ( * …

drivers/pcmcia: Add missing iounmap
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> of_iomap calls ioremap, and so should be matched with an iounmap. At the two error returns, the result of calling of_iomap is only stored in a local variable, so these error paths need to call iounmap. Furthermore, this function ultimately stores the result of of_iomap in an array that is local …

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are more robust for comparing jiffies against other values.

V4L/DVB (7035): drivers/media/common: Add missing video_device_release
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Video_device_alloc returns the result of a kzalloc. In this case, the value is stored in a local variable which is not copied elsewhere before the point of the error return (video_register_device does not save its first argument anywhere if it returns a negative value). Thus, a video_device_release it needed before the …
