Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/8] drivers/media/video/uvc: introduce missing kfree

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

Move the kzalloc and associated test after the stream/query test, to avoid
the need to free the allocated if the stream/query test fails.

The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S;
expression E;
identifier f,f1,l;
position p1,p2;

x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S

 f(...,x->f1,...)
)

(
 return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);

print "* file: %s kmalloc %s return %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line)
