[PATCH] drivers/serial/sunsu.c: Correct use after free

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Mon Mar 29 2010 - 05:40:10 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

The of_iounmap is at the out_unmap label, but at that point up has already
been freed. The free cannot be moved to the out_unmap label, because that
label is reachable from cases where up should not be freed. So the call to
of_iounmap is just duplicated, and the goto converted to a return.

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>
