From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> c2port_device_register returns an ERR_PTR value in an error case instead of NULL. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @match exists@ expression x, E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = eventfd_fget(...) ... when != x = E ( * if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2 | * if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2 ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c b/drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c index 338dcc1..585786b 100644 --- a/drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c +++ b/drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c @@ -128,7 +128,7 @@ static int __init duramar2150_c2port_init(void) duramar2150_c2port_dev = c2port_device_register("uc", &duramar2150_c2port_ops, NULL); - if (!duramar2150_c2port_dev) { + if (IS_ERR(duramar2150_c2port_dev)) { ret = -ENODEV; goto free_region; } -- 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
