[PATCH v3] coccinelle: semantic patch for missing put_device()

From: Wen Yang
Date: Wed Feb 13 2019 - 01:26:33 EST


The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device
structure, we should release that reference.
By using this semantic patch, we have found some object reference leaks,
such as:
commit 11907e9d3533 ("ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: fix object reference leaks in
fsl_asoc_card_probe")
commit a12085d13997 ("mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix possible object reference leak")
commit 11493f26856a ("mtd: rawnand: jz4780: fix possible object reference leak")
There are still dozens of reference leaks in the current kernel code.

v3->v2:
- reduction of a bit of redundant C code within SmPL search specifications.
- consider the message construction without using the extra Python variable âmsgâ
v2->v1:
- put exists after search, and then drop the when exists below.
- should not use the same e as in the when's below.
- Make a new type metavariable and use it to put a cast on the result of
platform_get_drvdata.
