Subject: [PATCH] drivers/infiniband/core: Use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test
Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:15:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200808071715.54004.brunel@diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk>

In case of error, the function ib_create_send_mad returns an ERR pointer,
but never returns a NULL pointer. So after a call to this function,
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 = ib_create_send_mad(...)
<... when != x = E
if (
(
- x@p2 != NULL
+ ! IS_ERR ( x )
|
- x@p2 = NULL
+ IS_ERR( x )
)
 )
S1
else S2
...>
? x = E;
// </smpl>
