The patch titled fs/ceph: use ERR_CAST has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fs-ceph-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/ceph: 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. In the case of fs/ceph/inode.c, ERR_CAST is not needed, because the type of the returned value is the same as the type of the enclosing function. 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: Sage Weil <sage@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ceph/dir.c | 2 +- fs/ceph/export.c | 2 +- fs/ceph/file.c | 2 +- fs/ceph/inode.c | 2 +- fs/ceph/osdmap.c | 2 +- fs/ceph/super.c | 2 +- 6 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff -puN fs/ceph/dir.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast fs/ceph/dir.c --- a/fs/ceph/dir.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast +++ a/fs/ceph/dir.c @@ -587,7 +587,7 @@ static struct dentry *ceph_lookup(struct CEPH_MDS_OP_LOOKUPSNAP : CEPH_MDS_OP_LOOKUP; req = ceph_mdsc_create_request(mdsc, op, USE_ANY_MDS); if (IS_ERR(req)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(req)); + return ERR_CAST(req); req->r_dentry = dget(dentry); req->r_num_caps = 2; /* we only need inode linkage */ diff -puN fs/ceph/export.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast fs/ceph/export.c --- a/fs/ceph/export.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast +++ a/fs/ceph/export.c @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ static struct dentry *__cfh_to_dentry(st req = ceph_mdsc_create_request(mdsc, CEPH_MDS_OP_LOOKUPHASH, USE_ANY_MDS); if (IS_ERR(req)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(req)); + return ERR_CAST(req); req->r_ino1 = vino; req->r_ino2.ino = cfh->parent_ino; diff -puN fs/ceph/file.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast fs/ceph/file.c --- a/fs/ceph/file.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast +++ a/fs/ceph/file.c @@ -230,7 +230,7 @@ struct dentry *ceph_lookup_open(struct i /* do the open */ req = prepare_open_request(dir->i_sb, flags, mode); if (IS_ERR(req)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(req)); + return ERR_CAST(req); req->r_dentry = dget(dentry); req->r_num_caps = 2; if (flags & O_CREAT) { diff -puN fs/ceph/inode.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast fs/ceph/inode.c --- a/fs/ceph/inode.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast +++ a/fs/ceph/inode.c @@ -69,7 +69,7 @@ struct inode *ceph_get_snapdir(struct in BUG_ON(!S_ISDIR(parent->i_mode)); if (IS_ERR(inode)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(inode)); + return inode; inode->i_mode = parent->i_mode; inode->i_uid = parent->i_uid; inode->i_gid = parent->i_gid; diff -puN fs/ceph/osdmap.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast fs/ceph/osdmap.c --- a/fs/ceph/osdmap.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast +++ a/fs/ceph/osdmap.c @@ -719,7 +719,7 @@ struct ceph_osdmap *osdmap_apply_increme len, *p, end); newcrush = crush_decode(*p, min(*p+len, end)); if (IS_ERR(newcrush)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(newcrush)); + return ERR_CAST(newcrush); } /* new flags? */ diff -puN fs/ceph/super.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast fs/ceph/super.c --- a/fs/ceph/super.c~fs-ceph-use-err_cast +++ a/fs/ceph/super.c @@ -810,7 +810,7 @@ static struct dentry *open_root_dentry(s dout("open_root_inode opening '%s'\n", path); req = ceph_mdsc_create_request(mdsc, CEPH_MDS_OP_GETATTR, USE_ANY_MDS); if (IS_ERR(req)) - return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(req)); + return ERR_CAST(req); req->r_path1 = kstrdup(path, GFP_NOFS); req->r_ino1.ino = CEPH_INO_ROOT; req->r_ino1.snap = CEPH_NOSNAP; _ 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
