powerpc/rtas_flash: Eliminate possible double free
The function initialize_flash_pde_data is only called four times. All four calls are in the function rtas_flash_init, and on the failure of any of the calls, remove_flash_pde is called on the third argument of each of the calls. There is thus no need for initialize_flash_pde_data to call remove_flash_pde on the same argument. remove_flash_pde kfrees the data field of its argument, and does not clear that field, so this amounts ot a possible double free. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ identifier f,free,a; parameter list[n] ps; type T; expression e; @@ f(ps,T a,...) { ... when any when != a = e if(...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; } ... when any } @@ identifier r.f,r.free; expression x,a; expression list[r.n] xs; @@ * x = f(xs,a,...); if (...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
