Put NULL test on the result of the previous call instead on one of its arguments. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // <smpl> r@ expression *e1; expression *e2; identifier f; statement S1,S2; @@ e1 = f(...,e2,...); ( if (e1 == NULL || ...) S1 else S2 | *if (e2 == NULL || ...) S1 else S2 ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/emxx_udc/emxx_udc.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/emxx_udc/emxx_udc.c b/drivers/staging/emxx_udc/emxx_udc.c index fbf82bc..7de1e9e 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/emxx_udc/emxx_udc.c +++ b/drivers/staging/emxx_udc/emxx_udc.c @@ -2998,7 +2998,7 @@ static void nbu2ss_ep_fifo_flush(struct usb_ep *_ep) } ep = container_of(_ep, struct nbu2ss_ep, ep); - if (!_ep) { + if (!ep) { pr_err("udc: %s, bad ep\n", __func__); return; } -- 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
