drivers/staging/hv/blkvsc_drv.c: eliminate NULL pointer dereference
In this code, blkvsc_req is allocated in the cache blkdev->request_pool, but freed in the first case to the cache blkvsc_req->dev->request_pool. blkvsc_req->dev is subsequently initialized to blkdev, making these the same at the second call to kmem_cache_free. But at the point of the first call, blkvsc_req->dev is NULL. The second call is changed too, for uniformity. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression x,e,e1,e2,e3; @@ x = \(kmem_cache_alloc\|kmem_cache_zalloc\)(e1,e2) ... when != x = e ( kmem_cache_free(e1,x); | ?-kmem_cache_free(e3,x); +kmem_cache_free(e1,x); ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Cc: KY Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Cc: Hank Janssen <hjanssen@microsoft.com> Cc: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
