是否有任何静态代码分析器可以捕获此内存泄漏?

这种泄漏对于肉眼来说似乎太微不足道了,我认为静态代码分析工具应该能够找到它们。

 Ex1:
 void foo(void) {
    u32 *ptr = kmalloc(512, GFP_KERNEL);
    ptr = (u32 *)0xffffffff;
    kfree(ptr);
 }

我知道Coverity可以找到如下所示的泄漏但不确定上述内容:任何人都可以告诉我这是否会在CoveritySparse等工具中被检测到?

Ex2:
void foo(void) {
    kmalloc(512, GFP_KERNEL);
}

Ex3:
void foo(void) {
    void * ptr = kmalloc(512, GFP_KERNEL);

    if (true)
        return;

    kfree(ptr)
}

我不知道kmalloc(我没有带有Coverity许可证的Linux系统来测试它),但Coverity很容易用malloc检测到此表单的泄漏。所以我怀疑kmalloc会给它带来麻烦。

如果它确实给你带来麻烦,你总是可以提供一个kmalloc函数的用户模型,它只包含malloc函数,所以Coverity知道如何处理这个函数。

Valgrind可用于检测Ex1中提到的内存泄漏。

e.g. 
#include<stdio.h> 
void foo(void) {
    int *ptr = (int *)malloc(512);
    ptr = (int *)0xffffffff;
    free(ptr);
 }
int main(){
        foo();
        return 1;
}

Valigrind Output:
