Subject: [PATCH] UBIFS: use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:19:00 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1222766358-21886-5-git-send-email-dedekind@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1222766358-21886-1-git-send-email-dedekind@infradead.org>
From: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk>
In case of error, the function kthread_create returns an ERR pointer,
but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes before an
IS_ERR test should be deleted.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@match_bad_null_test@
expression x, E;
statement S1,S2;
@@
x = kthread_create(...)
... when != x = E
* if (x == NULL)
S1 else S2
// </smpl>
