From: Julien Brunel <brunel@xxxxxxx> In case of error, the function ib_create_send_mad returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So after a call to this function, a NULL test should be replaced by an IS_ERR test. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @correct_null_test@ expression x,E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = ib_create_send_mad(...) <... when != x = E if ( ( - x@p2 != NULL + ! IS_ERR ( x ) | - x@p2 == NULL + IS_ERR( x ) ) ) S1 else S2 ...> ? x = E; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel <brunel@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c b/drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c --- a/drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ static void ack_recv(struct mad_rmpp_rec msg = ib_create_send_mad(&rmpp_recv->agent->agent, recv_wc->wc->src_qp, recv_wc->wc->pkey_index, 1, hdr_len, 0, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!msg) + if (IS_ERR(msg)) return; format_ack(msg, (struct ib_rmpp_mad *) recv_wc->recv_buf.mad, rmpp_recv); -- 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
