The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ expression *x; identifier f; constant char *C; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...); ... when != x == NULL when != x != NULL when != (x || ...) ( kfree(x) | f(...,C,...,x,...) | *f(...,x,...) | *x->f ) // [akpm@linux-foundation.org: convert to kstrdup() as well] Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Cc: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
