net/rfkill/core.c: Avoid leaving freed data in a list
The list_for_each_entry loop can fail, in which case the list element is not removed from the list rfkill_fds. Since this list is not accessed by the loop, the addition of &data->list into the list is just moved after the loop. The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression E,E1,E2; identifier l; @@ *list_add(&E->l,E1); ... when != E1 when != list_del(&E->l) when != list_del_init(&E->l) when != E = E2 *kfree(E);// </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: John W.
