A reference counter was incremented for a CPU node by a call of the function “of_get_cpu_node”. Thus decrement it after the last usage. > Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings: I wonder about the shown duplicate notification. Can a single message be sufficient for the code search result in this source file? Regards, Markus

Since you have removed the context, I have no idea what you are talking about. julia

I find that the second statement “return -EINVAL” would need related source code adjustments. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/cpufreq/ppc_cbe_cpufreq.c?id=05d08e2995cbe6efdb993482ee0d38a77040861a#n96 How do you think about to complete the exception handling here?

There is an of_node_put two lines above. julia

The call to of_get_cpu_node returns a node pointer with refcount incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last usage. Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings: ./drivers/cpufreq/ppc_cbe_cpufreq.c:89:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 76, but without a corresponding object release within this function. ./drivers/cpufreq/ppc_cbe_cpufreq.c:89:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 76, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
