IB/ehca: Drop unnecessary NULL test
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> list_for_each_entry binds its first argument to a non-null value, and thus any null test on the value of that argument is superfluous. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ iterator I; expression x; statement S,S1,S2; @@ I(x,…) { } // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Alexander …

powerpc/powermac: Drop unnecessary of_node_put
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> for_each_node_by_name only exits when its first argument is NULL, and a subsequent call to of_node_put on that argument is unnecessary. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ iterator name for_each_node_by_name; expression np,E; identifier l; @@ for_each_node_by_name(np,…) { … when != break; when != goto l; …

arch/sparc/mm: Use GFP_KERNEL

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ identifier f; @@ *f(…,GFP_ATOMIC,…) … when != spin_unlock(…) when != read_unlock(…) when != write_unlock(…) when != read_unlock_irq(…) when != write_unlock_irq(…) …

[SCSI] pm8001: introduce missing kfree

net/rose: Use GFP_ATOMIC
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> The other calls to kmalloc in the same function use GFP_ATOMIC, and indeed two locks are held within the body of the function.

SA1111: Eliminate use after free
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> __sa1111_remove always frees its argument, so the subsequent reference to sachip->saved_state represents a use after free. __sa1111_remove does not appear to use the saved_state field, so the patch simply frees it first. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression E,E2; …
