[PATCH 3/10] video: use safer test on the result of find_first_zero_bit

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Wed Jun 04 2014 - 05:13:54 EST


From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>

Find_first_zero_bit considers BITS_PER_LONG bits at a time, and thus may
return a larger number than the maximum position argument if that position
is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression e1,e2,e3;
statement S1,S2;
@@

e1 = find_first_zero_bit(e2,e3)
...
if (e1
- ==
+ >=
e3)
S1 else S2
// </smpl>
