[PATCH 1/4] drivers/serial/ucc_uart.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak

Julia Lawall julia at diku.dk
Wed Sep 1 01:48:55 EST 2010


Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_compatible_node or of_find_node_by_type.

This patch also substantially reorganizes the error handling code in the
function, to that it is possible first to jump to code that frees qe_port
and then to jump to code that also puts np.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
