From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Use !x rather than IS_ERR(x) to test the result of kzalloc. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression x,E; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...) ... when != x = E - IS_ERR(x) + !x // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/mfd/abx500-core.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/mfd/abx500-core.c b/drivers/mfd/abx500-core.c --- a/drivers/mfd/abx500-core.c +++ b/drivers/mfd/abx500-core.c @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ int abx500_register_ops(struct device *d struct abx500_device_entry *dev_entry; dev_entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct abx500_device_entry), GFP_KERNEL); - if (IS_ERR(dev_entry)) { + if (!dev_entry) { dev_err(dev, "register_ops kzalloc failed"); return -ENOMEM; } -- 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
