[media] drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_usb_drv.c: shift position of allocation code
The conditional after the kzalloc says that the tested expression should
never be true, but if it were, the allocated data would have to be freed.
This change just moves the allocation below the test, to avoid any
possibility of the problem.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds the problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr)
// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S;
identifier f1;
position p1,p2;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@
x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
<... when != x
when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
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>
