[S390] drivers/s390: Use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test
Author: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk> In case of error, functions dasd_kmalloc_request and idal_buffer_alloc return an ERR pointer, but never return the NULL pointer. So after a call to one of these functions, a NULL test should be replaced by an IS_ERR test. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: …

V4L/DVB (8729): Use DIV_ROUND_UP
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> The kernel.h macro DIV_ROUND_UP performs the computation (((n) + (d) – 1) / (d)) but is perhaps more readable. An extract of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @haskernel@ @@ @depends on haskernel@ expression n,d; @@ ( – (n + d – 1) / d …

net/rxrpc: Use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test
Author: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk> In case of error, the function rxrpc_get_transport returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So after a call to this function, a NULL test should be replaced by an IS_ERR test. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @correct_null_test@ …

IB/mad: Test ib_create_send_mad() return with IS_ERR(), not == NULL
Author: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk> In case of error, the function ib_create_send_mad() returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So testing the return value for error should be done with IS_ERR, not by comparing with NULL. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @correct_null_test@ …

drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c: add missing of_node_put
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> of_node_put is needed before discarding a value received from of_find_node_by_type, eg in error handling code. The semantic patch that makes the change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ struct device_node *n; struct device_node *n1; struct device_node *n2; statement S; identifier f1,f2; expression E1,E2; constant C; @@ n = of_find_node_by_type(…) … if …

IB/ipath: Use unsigned long for irq flags
Author: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> A few functions in the ipath driver incorrectly use unsigned int to hold irq flags for spin_lock_irqsave().

drivers/video: release mutex in error handling code
Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> The mutex is released on a successful return, so it would seem that it should be released on an error return as well. The semantic patch finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ expression l; @@ mutex_lock(l); … when != mutex_unlock(l) when any when strict ( if (…) { …

[CPUFREQ] drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c: Adjust error handling code involving cpufreq_cpu_put
