The patch titled fs/ubifs: use ERR_CAST has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fs-ubifs-use-err_cast.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: fs/ubifs: use ERR_CAST From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Use ERR_CAST(x) rather than ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)). The former makes more clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a no-op. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ type T; T x; identifier f; @@ T f (...) { <+... - ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)) + x ...+> } @@ expression x; @@ - ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)) + ERR_CAST(x) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Cc: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind1@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ubifs/lpt.c | 14 +++++++------- fs/ubifs/lpt_commit.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/ubifs/lpt.c~fs-ubifs-use-err_cast fs/ubifs/lpt.c --- a/fs/ubifs/lpt.c~fs-ubifs-use-err_cast +++ a/fs/ubifs/lpt.c @@ -1457,13 +1457,13 @@ struct ubifs_lprops *ubifs_lpt_lookup(st shft -= UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT_SHIFT; nnode = ubifs_get_nnode(c, nnode, iip); if (IS_ERR(nnode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(nnode)); + return ERR_CAST(nnode); } iip = ((i >> shft) & (UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT - 1)); shft -= UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT_SHIFT; pnode = ubifs_get_pnode(c, nnode, iip); if (IS_ERR(pnode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(pnode)); + return ERR_CAST(pnode); iip = (i & (UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT - 1)); dbg_lp("LEB %d, free %d, dirty %d, flags %d", lnum, pnode->lprops[iip].free, pnode->lprops[iip].dirty, @@ -1586,7 +1586,7 @@ struct ubifs_lprops *ubifs_lpt_lookup_di nnode = c->nroot; nnode = dirty_cow_nnode(c, nnode); if (IS_ERR(nnode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(nnode)); + return ERR_CAST(nnode); i = lnum - c->main_first; shft = c->lpt_hght * UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT_SHIFT; for (h = 1; h < c->lpt_hght; h++) { @@ -1594,19 +1594,19 @@ struct ubifs_lprops *ubifs_lpt_lookup_di shft -= UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT_SHIFT; nnode = ubifs_get_nnode(c, nnode, iip); if (IS_ERR(nnode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(nnode)); + return ERR_CAST(nnode); nnode = dirty_cow_nnode(c, nnode); if (IS_ERR(nnode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(nnode)); + return ERR_CAST(nnode); } iip = ((i >> shft) & (UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT - 1)); shft -= UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT_SHIFT; pnode = ubifs_get_pnode(c, nnode, iip); if (IS_ERR(pnode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(pnode)); + return ERR_CAST(pnode); pnode = dirty_cow_pnode(c, pnode); if (IS_ERR(pnode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(pnode)); + return ERR_CAST(pnode); iip = (i & (UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT - 1)); dbg_lp("LEB %d, free %d, dirty %d, flags %d", lnum, pnode->lprops[iip].free, pnode->lprops[iip].dirty, diff -puN fs/ubifs/lpt_commit.c~fs-ubifs-use-err_cast fs/ubifs/lpt_commit.c --- a/fs/ubifs/lpt_commit.c~fs-ubifs-use-err_cast +++ a/fs/ubifs/lpt_commit.c @@ -646,7 +646,7 @@ static struct ubifs_pnode *pnode_lookup( shft -= UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT_SHIFT; nnode = ubifs_get_nnode(c, nnode, iip); if (IS_ERR(nnode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(nnode)); + return ERR_CAST(nnode); } iip = ((i >> shft) & (UBIFS_LPT_FANOUT - 1)); return ubifs_get_pnode(c, nnode, iip); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from julia@xxxxxxx are origin.patch linux-next.patch drivers-scsi-aacraid-eliminate-use-after-free.patch arch-x86-pci-use-kasprintf.patch fs-btrfs-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-media-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-i2c-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-ieee1394-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-infiniband-core-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-ide-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-isdn-use-memdup_user.patch net-can-use-memdup_user.patch net-dccp-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-net-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-net-cxgb3-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-net-wan-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-net-wireless-prism54-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-s390-net-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-scsi-libsas-use-sam_good.patch drivers-scsi-remove-unnecessary-null-test.patch drivers-message-move-dereference-after-null-test.patch drivers-scsi-correct-the-size-argument-to-kmalloc.patch drivers-scsi-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-block-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-staging-dream-camera-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-usb-gadget-use-memdup_user.patch mm-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-char-vtc-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-message-i2o-i2o_configc-use-memdup_user.patch fs-autofs4-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-video-via-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-telephony-ixjc-use-memdup_user.patch drivers-char-ppdevc-use-kasprintf.patch drivers-char-applicomc-use-memdup_user.patch ipc-semc-use-err_cast.patch crypto-use-err_cast.patch drivers-mmc-host-use-err_cast.patch fs-ubifs-use-err_cast.patch fs-btrfs-use-err_cast.patch mm-use-err_cast.patch fs-ceph-use-err_cast.patch fs-affs-use-err_cast.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
