From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Netdev_priv performs an addition, not a pointer dereference, so it seems quit unlikely that its result would ever be NULL. A semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ statement S; @@ - if (!netdev_priv(...))
