So after a call to this function, an IS_ERR test should be replaced by a NULL test. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @match bad_is_err_test@ expression x, E; @@ x = ucma_alloc_multicast(...) ... when != x = E IS_ERR(x) // Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier --- diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c b/drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c index 3ddacf39b7ba..4346a24568fb 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c @@ -904,8 +904,8 @@ static ssize_t ucma_join_multicast(struct ucma_file *file, mutex_lock(&file->mut); mc = ucma_alloc_multicast(ctx); - if (IS_ERR(mc)) { - ret = PTR_ERR(mc); + if (!mc) { + ret = -ENOMEM; goto err1; }
