From: Julien Brunel <brunel@xxxxxxx> In case of error, functions dasd_kmalloc_request and idal_buffer_alloc return an ERR pointer, but never return the NULL pointer. So after a call to one of these functions, a NULL test should be replaced by an IS_ERR test. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @correct_null_test@ expression x,E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = ( dasd_kmalloc_request(...) | idal_buffer_alloc(...) ) <... when != x = E if ( ( - x@p2 != NULL + ! IS_ERR ( x ) | - x@p2 == NULL + IS_ERR( x ) ) ) S1 else S2 ...> ? x = E; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel <brunel@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/s390/block/dasd_eer.c | 3 ++- drivers/s390/char/tape_char.c | 2 +- drivers/s390/char/tape_std.c | 2 +- 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eer.c b/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eer.c --- a/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eer.c +++ b/drivers/s390/block/dasd_eer.c @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ #include <linux/poll.h> #include <linux/mutex.h> #include <linux/smp_lock.h> +#include <linux/err.h> #include <asm/uaccess.h> #include <asm/atomic.h> @@ -457,7 +458,7 @@ int dasd_eer_enable(struct dasd_device * cqr = dasd_kmalloc_request("ECKD", 1 /* SNSS */, SNSS_DATA_SIZE, device); - if (!cqr) + if (IS_ERR(cqr)) return -ENOMEM; cqr->startdev = device; diff -u -p a/drivers/s390/char/tape_char.c b/drivers/s390/char/tape_char.c --- a/drivers/s390/char/tape_char.c +++ b/drivers/s390/char/tape_char.c @@ -109,7 +109,7 @@ tapechar_check_idalbuffer(struct tape_de /* The current idal buffer is not correct.
