Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drivers/staging/batman-adv: introduce missing kfree

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

Error handling code following a kzalloc should free the allocated data.
Similarly for usb-alloc urb.

The semantic match that finds the first 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;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
<... when != x
     when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
(
x->f1 = E
|
 (x->f1 == NULL || ...)
|
 f(...,x->f1,...)
)
...>
(
 return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);
|
 return@p2 ...;
)

@script:python@
p1 << r.p1;
p2 << r.p2;
@@

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