drivers/isdn: introduce missing kfree
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Error handling code following a kmalloc should free the allocated data. The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @r exists@ local idexpression x; statement S; expression E; identifier f,l; position p1,p2; expression *ptr != NULL; @@ ( if ((x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(…)) == NULL) S | x@p1 …

PCI: introduce missing kfree
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Error handling code following a kmalloc should free the allocated data. Since the subsequent code that could provoke an error does not use the allocated data, the allocation is just moved below it. The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @r exists@ local idexpression x; statement …

arch/powerpc: Eliminate double sizeof
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Taking sizeof the result of sizeof is quite strange and does not seem to be what is wanted here. This was fixed using the following semantic patch. (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ expression E; @@ – sizeof ( sizeof (E) – ) @@ type T; @@ – sizeof ( sizeof (T) – ) …

[SCSI] libfc: Correct use of ! and &
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> !ep->esb_stat is either 1 or 0, and the rightmost bit of ESB_ST_COMPLETE is always 0, making the result of !ep->esb_stat & ESB_ST_COMPLETE always 0. Thus parentheses around the argument to ! seem needed. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ expression E; constant C; @@ …

USB: musb uses endpoint functions
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> This set of patches introduces calls to the following set of functions: usb_endpoint_dir_in(epd) usb_endpoint_dir_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_bulk_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_bulk_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_int_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_int_out(epd) usb_endpoint_num(epd) usb_endpoint_type(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_control(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_int(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc(epd) In some cases, introducing one of these functions is not possible, and it just replaces an explicit integer value by one of the following constants: USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_BULK USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_CONTROL …

netfilter 07/09: simplify nf_conntrack_alloc() error handling
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> nf_conntrack_alloc cannot return NULL, so there is no need to check for NULL before using the value. I have also removed the initialization of ct to NULL in nf_conntrack_alloc, since the value is never used, and since perhaps it might lead one to think that return ct at the end might …

drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN: move a dereference below a NULL test
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> In each case, if the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be moved below the NULL test.

drivers/net/wireless/libertas: move a dereference below a NULL test
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> In each case, if the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be moved below the NULL test. I have also taken advantage of the availability of the value of priv->dev in the subsequent calls to netif_stop_queue and netif_carrier_off. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) …
