V4L/DVB (7035): drivers/media/common: Add missing video_device_release
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 error return. The problem was found using the following semantic match. (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ type T,T1,T2; identifier E; statement S; expression x1,x2,x3; int ret; @@ T E; ... * E = video_device_alloc(...); if (E == NULL) S ... when != video_device_release(...,(T1)E,...) when != if (E != NULL) { ... video_device_release(...,(T1)E,...); ...} when != x1 = (T1)E when != E = x3; when any if (...) { ... when != video_device_release(...,(T2)E,...) when != if (E != NULL) { ... video_device_release(...,(T2)E,...); ...} when != x2 = (T2)E ( * return; | * return ret; ) } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> CC: Oliver Endriss <o.endriss@gmx.de> CC: Michael Hunold <michael@mihu.de> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
