[PATCH 4/6] drivers/scsi/aacraid: Correct use after free

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Tue Dec 22 2009 - 15:32:20 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

Move the kfree after the print statement that uses the freed structure.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression x,e;
identifier f;
iterator I;
statement S;
@@

*kfree(x);
... when != &x
when != x = e
when != I(x,...) S
*x->f
// </smpl>
