[PATCH 2/5] fs/hppfs: Add kmalloc NULL tests

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Thu Jul 30 2009 - 10:17:23 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

Test the result of kmalloc using a ! test, as most commonly done elsewhere,
rather than a test on 0.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression *x;
identifier f;
constant char *C;
@@

x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...);
... when != x == NULL
when != x != NULL
when != (x || ...)
(
kfree(x)
|
f(...,C,...,x,...)
|
*f(...,x,...)
|
*x->f
)
// </smpl>
