The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression x,y; statement S; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...); ( if ((x) == NULL) S | if ( - y + x == NULL) S ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- arch/arm/plat-pxa/dma.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/arch/arm/plat-pxa/dma.c b/arch/arm/plat-pxa/dma.c --- a/arch/arm/plat-pxa/dma.c +++ b/arch/arm/plat-pxa/dma.c @@ -244,7 +244,7 @@ static void pxa_dma_init_debugfs(void) dbgfs_chan = kmalloc(sizeof(*dbgfs_state) * num_dma_channels, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!dbgfs_state) + if (!dbgfs_chan) goto err_alloc; chandir = debugfs_create_dir("channels", dbgfs_root); -- 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
