Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8192e: Clean up the tests on the results of functions which return NULL on failure
Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2016 12:16:27 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160227064627.GA16581@localhost> (raw)

Functions returning NULL as a return value on failure can be tested for
as !x, NULL == x or x == NULL. As !x is commonly used, all the tests
need to be modified to use !x for a consistent coding style. In this
patch, the function kzalloc is considered.

Coccinelle is used to achieve this, the semantic patch being:

@@
expression E;
statement S;
@@

E = kzalloc(...);

if (
(
+	!
	E
-	== NULL
|
+	!
-	NULL ==
	E
)
 ) S
