[PATCH 6/8] mm: Use ERR_CAST
From: Julia Lawall
Date: Sat May 22 2010 - 06:01:50 EST
From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>
Use ERR_CAST(x) rather than ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)). The former makes more
clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a
no-op.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>

type T;
T x;
identifier f;

T f (...) { <+...
- ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x))
+ x
...+> }
@@
expression x;
@@
- ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x))
+ ERR_CAST(x)
// </smpl>
