The semantic patch finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ 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); ) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W.
