From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> If dev is NULL, it is not possible to access its name field. So I have simply modified the error message to drop the printing of the name field. This problem was found using the following semantic match (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression E, E1; identifier f; statement S1,S2,S3; @@ * if (E == NULL) { ... when != if (E == NULL) S1 else S2 when != E = E1 * E->f ... when any return ...; } else S3 // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- diff -u -p a/drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c b/drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c --- a/drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c 2008-04-07 13:50:26.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c 2008-05-12 09:52:58.000000000 +0200 @@ -1123,8 +1123,7 @@ static int __init yam_init_driver(void) dev = alloc_netdev(sizeof(struct yam_port), name, yam_setup); if (!dev) { - printk(KERN_ERR "yam: cannot allocate net device %s\n", - dev->name); + printk(KERN_ERR "yam: cannot allocate net device\n"); err = -ENOMEM; goto error; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
