Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Request_region should be used with release_region, not release_resource. The local variables region and region2 are dropped and the calls to release_resource are replaced with calls to release_region, using the first two arguments of the corresponding calls to request_region. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ …

drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/main.c: Convert release_resource to release_region/release_mem_region
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Request_region should be used with release_region, not release_resource. This patch contains a number of changes, related to calls to request_region, request_mem_region, and the associated error handling code. 1. For the call to request_region, the variable io_resource storing the result is dropped. The call to release_resource at the end of the function …

drivers/w1/masters/omap_hdq.c: add missing clk_put
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> This code makes two calls to clk_get, then test both return values and fails if either failed. The problem is that in the first inner if, where the first call to clk_get has failed, it don’t know if the second call has failed as well. So it don’t know whether clk_get …

wl12xx: fix use after free
Author: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> When DEBUG_SPI is included in the debug log level wl1271_spi_reset() will dump the already freed memory instead of the SPI buffer. This bug was spotted by the semantic patch tool coccinelle using the script found at scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci.

[media] V4L: omap1_camera: fix use after free
Author: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Even though clk_put() is a no-op on most architectures it is not for some ARM implementations. To not fail on those, release the clock timer before freeing the surrounding structure. This bug was spotted by the semantic patch tool coccinelle using the script found at scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci. More information about semantic patching …

net/wireless/nl80211.c: Avoid call to genlmsg_cancel
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> genlmsg_cancel subtracts some constants from its second argument before calling nlmsg_cancel. nlmsg_cancel then calls nlmsg_trim on the same arguments. nlmsg_trim tests for NULL before doing any computation, but a NULL second argument to genlmsg_cancel is no longer NULL due to the initial subtraction. Nothing else happens in this execution, so the …
