Hello,

After seeing this patch http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.commits.head/348204 I tried to write a semantic patch that ensures that a call to d_find_alias() is followed by a call to dput().

The attached patch seems to do that. I wrote it by copying the example found in the "Reference counter: the of_xxx API" paragraph of the grammar. I haven't played with Coccinelle in a while though, and I can't remember exactly the semantics of the "exists" keyword and of the "<... ...>" and "<+... ...+>". Could you enlighten me ?

If the patch looks good to you, I'll send it to kernel-janitors (unless there is a more approriate list for semantic patches) along with a few patches.


WBR,
Cyril Roelandt.
