This is smatch stuff (http://smatch.sf.net).
The problem is that it's a private modification where I made it print
errors if we pass an ERR_PTR to a function. After I send out 10 patches
today that modification will only print false positives... Normally the
false positives are cases where the function accepts ERR_PTRs as a
paramater. I need to kill most of the false positives before I can push
the change.
The good thing about Smatch is that it's easy to compile, but the bad
thing is that it's false positive heavy.

dan carpenter
