From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> If the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be moved below the NULL test. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ type T; expression E; identifier i,fld; statement S; @@ - T i = E->fld; + T i; ... when != E when != i if (E == NULL) S + i = E->fld; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c b/drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c --- a/drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c +++ b/drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c @@ -187,11 +187,12 @@ void hysdn_rx_netpkt(hysdn_card * card, unsigned char *buf, unsigned short len) { struct net_local *lp = card->netif; - struct net_device *dev = lp->dev; + struct net_device *dev; struct sk_buff *skb; if (!lp) return; /* non existing device */ + dev = lp->dev; dev->stats.rx_bytes += len; -- 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
