[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 14:54:34 +0100

A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (3):
  Delete error messages for a failed memory allocation in three functions
  Improve a size determination in two functions
  Adjust 27 checks for null pointers

[PATCH 1/3] sgi-xpc: Delete error messages for a failed memory allocation in three functions

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 14:00:17 +0100

Omit extra messages for a memory allocation failure in these functions.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

[PATCH 2/3] sgi-xpc: Improve a size determination in two functions

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 14:18:12 +0100

Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

The script “checkpatch.pl” pointed information out like the following.

Comparison to NULL could be written …

Thus fix the affected source code places.

The script “checkpatch.pl” pointed information out like the following.

Comparison to NULL could be written …

Thus fix the affected source code places.

If you need to resubmit, please consider re-ordering the changes to
due the comparison to NULL changes in your first patch, followed by the
other two in either order.  I think it will clear up some of the inconsistency
in your first patch.

Thanks,

Note you are responding to someone who is on my, and many other kernel
maintainers, blacklists, so I never see the patches.  So it's not really
worth reviewing, as I'll not be picking them up myself, sorry.
