The patch titled drivers/acpi: elide a non-zero test on a result that is never 0 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-acpi-elide-a-non-zero-test-on-a-result-that-is-never-0.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: drivers/acpi: elide a non-zero test on a result that is never 0 From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> The function thermal_cooling_device_register always returns either a valid pointer or a value made with ERR_PTR, so a test for non-zero on the result will always succeed. The problem was found using the following semantic match.
