drivers/video: add kmalloc NULL tests
Check that the result of kmalloc is not NULL before passing it to other functions. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression *x; identifier f; constant char *C; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...); ... when != x == NULL when != x != NULL when != (x || ...) ( kfree(x) | f(...,C,...,x,...) | *f(...,x,...) | *x->f ) // </smpl> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: convert to kstrdup() as well] Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Cc: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
