So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR test should be deleted. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @match_bad_null_test@ expression x, E; statement S1,S2; @@ x = open_xa_dir(...) ... when != x = E ( * if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2 | * if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2 ) // Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Cc: Jeff Mahoney Cc: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
