From 3040c8203d68a9a0564af81729085054fd6b5b03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:42:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] HID: Drop NULL test on list_entry result list_entry, which is an alias for container_of, cannot return NULL, as there is no way to add a NULL value to a doubly linked list. A simplified version of the semantic match that findds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @r@ expression x,E; statement S1,S2; position p,p1; @@ *x = list_entry@p(...) ... when != x = E *if@p1 (x == NULL) S1 else S2 // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina --- Reading git-format-patch failed
