On that topic (and off-topic for this thread, sorry) I've committed a set of patches to remove most users of IS_ERR_OR_NULL() from arch/arm. These are the last remaining ones there - and I don't want to see any more appearing: arch/arm/plat-samsung/clock.c: if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(clk)) arch/arm/plat-samsung/clock.c: if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(clk) && clk->ops && clk->ops->round_rate) arch/arm/plat-samsung/clock.c: if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(clk)) arch/arm/plat-samsung/clock.c: if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(clk) || IS_ERR_OR_NULL(parent)) arch/arm/mach-imx/devices/platform-ipu-core.c: if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(imx_ipu_coredev)) arch/arm/mach-imx/devices/platform-ipu-core.c: if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(imx_ipu_coredev)) arch/arm/kernel/smp_twd.c: * We use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() here, because if the clock stubs arch/arm/kernel/smp_twd.c: if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(twd_clk)) They currently all legal uses of it - though I'm sure that the samsung clock uses can be reduced to just IS_ERR(). The IMX use looks "valid" in that imx_ipu_coredev really can be an error pointer (on failure) or NULL if the platform device hasn't yet been created. The TWD one is explained in the comments in the code (if people had to write explanations for using IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), we'd probably have it used correctly!) _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
