powerpc/irq.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak
In this case, a device_node structure is stored in another structure that is then freed without first decrementing the reference count of the device_node structure. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ expression x; identifier f; position p1,p2; @@ x@p1->f = \(of_find_node_by_path\|of_find_node_by_name\|of_find_node_by_phandle\|of_get_parent\|of_get_next_parent\|of_get_next_child\|of_find_compatible_node\|of_match_node\|of_find_node_by_type\|of_find_node_with_property\|of_find_matching_node\|of_parse_phandle\|of_node_get\)(...); ... when != of_node_put(x) kfree@p2(x) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; @@ cocci.print_main("call",p1) cocci.print_secs("free",p2) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
