Subject: [PATCH 1/3] drivers/media/video/em28xx: Remove potential NULL dereference
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 07:57:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282888640-27042-2-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1282888640-27042-1-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk>
If the NULL test is necessary, the initialization involving a dereference of
the tested value should be moved after the NULL test.
The sematic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
type T;
expression E;
identifier i,fld;
statement S;
@@
- T i = E->fld;
+ T i;
... when != E
when != i
if (E == NULL) S
+ i = E->fld;
// </smpl>
