From bd2281b85d929af0bd192f05135f70dd05f4fd85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Fri, 13 May 2011 15:52:10 +0200 Subject: net/rfkill/core.c: Avoid leaving freed data in a list The list_for_each_entry loop can fail, in which case the list element is not removed from the list rfkill_fds. Since this list is not accessed by the loop, the addition of &data->list into the list is just moved after the loop. The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression E,E1,E2; identifier l; @@ *list_add(&E->l,E1); ... when != E1 when != list_del(&E->l) when != list_del_init(&E->l) when != E = E2 *kfree(E);// Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: John W.
