From: Julia Lawall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The mutex is released on a successful return, so it would seem that it should be released on an error return as well.
The semantic patch finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression l; @@ mutex_lock(l); ... when != mutex_unlock(l) when any when strict ( if (...) { ... when != mutex_unlock(l) + mutex_unlock(l); return ...; } | mutex_unlock(l); ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- diff -u -p a/fs/ocfs2/file.c b/fs/ocfs2/file.c --- a/fs/ocfs2/file.c +++ b/fs/ocfs2/file.c @@ -1766,8 +1766,8 @@ out_inode_unlock: out_rw_unlock: ocfs2_rw_unlock(inode, 1); - mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex); out: + mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex); return ret; } _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-devel mailing list Ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-devel
