Some functions like kmalloc/kzalloc return NULL on failure. When NULL represents failure, !x is commonly used. This was done using Coccinelle: @@ expression *e; identifier l1; @@ e = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\|devm_kzalloc\)(...); ... - e == NULL + !e Signed-off-by: simran singhal <singhalsimran0@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_fops.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_fops.c b/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_fops.c index 20e581e..e5a7407 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_fops.c +++ b/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_fops.c @@ -1100,7 +1100,7 @@ int atomisp_videobuf_mmap_mapper(struct videobuf_queue *q, continue; map = kzalloc(sizeof(struct videobuf_mapping), GFP_KERNEL); - if (map == NULL) { + if (!map) { mutex_unlock(&q->vb_lock); return -ENOMEM; } -- 2.7.4 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
