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
