drivers/net/hamradio/6pack.c: 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. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ type T; expression E; identifier i,fld; statement S; @@ – T i = E->fld; + T i; … when …

drivers/rtc: correct an error test
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> rtc is clearly does not satisfy IS_ERR at the point where it is tested, so I have changed the test to consider the just initialized rtc->rtc_dev. The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @match exists@ expression x, E; identifier fld; position p1,p2; @@ ( x = …

drivers/macintosh: Add missing of_node_put in therm_adt746x.c
Author: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> of_node_put is needed before discarding a value received from of_find_node_by_name, eg in error handling code or when the device node is no longer used. The semantic match that catches the bug is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @r exists@ local idexpression struct device_node *n; position p1, p2; struct device_node *n1; statement S; …

mm/page_alloc.c: eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b, alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary. This was fixed using the following semantic patch. (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ expression E; statement S; …

V4L/DVB (10185): Use negated usb_endpoint_xfer_control, etc
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> This patch extends 134179823b3ca9c8b98e0631906459dbb022ff9b by using usb_endpoint_xfer_control, usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc, usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk, and usb_endpoint_xfer_int in the negated case as well. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ struct usb_endpoint_descriptor *epd; @@ – (usb_endpoint_type(epd) != \(USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_CONTROL\|0\)) + !usb_endpoint_xfer_control(epd) @@ struct usb_endpoint_descriptor *epd; @@ – (usb_endpoint_type(epd) != \(USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_ISOC\|1\)) + !usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc(epd) …

ALSA: sound/usb: Use negated usb_endpoint_xfer_control, etc
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> This patch extends 42a6e66f1e40a930d093c33ba0bb9d8d8e4555ed by using usb_endpoint_xfer_control, usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc, usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk, and usb_endpoint_xfer_int in the negated case as well. This patch also rewrites some calls to usb_endpoint_dir_in as negated calls to !usb_endpoint_dir_out, and vice versa, to better correspond to the intent of the original code. The semantic patch that makes this change is …
