net/ipv4: Eliminate kstrdup memory leak
The string clone is only used as a temporary copy of the argument val
within the while loop, and so it should be freed before leaving the
function. The call to strsep, however, modifies clone, so a pointer to the
front of the string is kept in saved_clone, to make it possible to free it.
The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E;
identifier l;
statement S;
@@
*x= \(kasprintf\|kstrdup\)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
... when != kfree(x)
when != E = x
if (...) {
<... when != kfree(x)
* goto l;
...>
* return ...;
}
// </smpl>
