The patch titled drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN: move a dereference below a NULL test has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-isdn-hardware-misdn-move-a-dereference-below-a-null-test.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/isdn/hardware/mISDN: move a dereference below a NULL test From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> In each case, if the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be moved below the NULL test. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ type T; expression E; identifier i,fld; statement S; @@ - T i = E->fld; + T i; ... when != E when != i if (E == NULL) S + i = E->fld; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/hfcmulti.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/hfcmulti.c~drivers-isdn-hardware-misdn-move-a-dereference-below-a-null-test drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/hfcmulti.c --- a/drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/hfcmulti.c~drivers-isdn-hardware-misdn-move-a-dereference-below-a-null-test +++ a/drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/hfcmulti.c @@ -3610,7 +3610,7 @@ hfcm_bctrl(struct mISDNchannel *ch, u_in static void ph_state_change(struct dchannel *dch) { - struct hfc_multi *hc = dch->hw; + struct hfc_multi *hc; int ch, i; if (!dch) { @@ -3618,6 +3618,7 @@ ph_state_change(struct dchannel *dch) __func__); return; } + hc = dch->hw; ch = dch->slot; if (hc->type == 1) { _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from julia@xxxxxxx are linux-next.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
