From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Use ERR_CAST(x) rather than ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)). The former makes more clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a no-op. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ type T; T x; identifier f; @@ T f (...) { <+... - ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)) + x ...+> } @@ expression x; @@ - ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)) + ERR_CAST(x) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci.c b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci.c --- a/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci.c +++ b/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci.c @@ -628,7 +628,7 @@ static struct sdhci_pci_slot * __devinit host = sdhci_alloc_host(&pdev->dev, sizeof(struct sdhci_pci_slot)); if (IS_ERR(host)) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot allocate host\n"); - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(host)); + return ERR_CAST(host); } slot = sdhci_priv(host); -- 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
