Subject: [PATCH 1/5] fs/gfs2: test for IS_ERR rather than 0
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 19:08:48 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0803241908210.32740@ask.diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

The function gfs2_inode_lookup always returns either a valid pointer or a
value made with ERR_PTR, so its result should be tested with IS_ERR, not
with a test for 0.


The problem was found using the following semantic match.
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

//<smpl>

expression E, E1;
statement S,S1;

E = gfs2_inode_lookup(...)
... when != E = E1
if@p (E) S else S1

@n@
position a.p;
expression E,E1;
statement S,S1;
@@

E = NULL
... when != E = E1
if@p (E) S else S1

@depends on !n@
expression E;
statement S,S1;
position a.p;
@@

* if@p (E)
  S else S1
