From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> res has already been tested. It seems that this test should be on the recently returned value mmio. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E; @@ if (x == NULL || ...) { ... when forall return ...; } ... when != \(x=E\|x--\|x++\|--x\|++x\|x-=E\|x+=E\|x|=E\|x&=E\|&x\) ( *x == NULL | *x != NULL ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethoc.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethoc.c b/drivers/net/ethoc.c index ceb6a9c..4dbe5f1 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethoc.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethoc.c @@ -894,7 +894,7 @@ static int ethoc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) mmio = devm_request_mem_region(&pdev->dev, res->start, res->end - res->start + 1, res->name); - if (!res) { + if (!mmio) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot request I/O memory space\n"); ret = -ENXIO; goto free; -- 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
