From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> rtc is clearly does not satisfy IS_ERR at the point where it is tested, so I have changed the test to consider the just initialized rtc->rtc_dev. The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @match exists@ expression x, E; identifier fld; position p1,p2; @@ ( x = E; | x = E | x@p1->fld ... when != x = E IS_ERR(x@p2) ... when any ) @other_match exists@ expression match.x, E1, E2; position match.p1,match.p2; @@ x = E1 ... when != x = E2 when != x@p1 x@p2 @ script:python depends on !other_match@ p1 << match.p1; p2 << match.p2; @@ print "* file %s dereference %s test %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p2[0].line) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/rtc/rtc-bfin.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-bfin.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-bfin.c index 34439ce..aafd3e6 100644 --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-bfin.c +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-bfin.c @@ -390,7 +390,7 @@ static int __devinit bfin_rtc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) /* Register our RTC with the RTC framework */ rtc->rtc_dev = rtc_device_register(pdev->name, dev, &bfin_rtc_ops, THIS_MODULE); - if (unlikely(IS_ERR(rtc))) { + if (unlikely(IS_ERR(rtc->rtc_dev))) { ret = PTR_ERR(rtc->rtc_dev); goto err_irq; } -- 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
