From cd55ef5a10d1a2ea09853bc5fa40aadaf9f80614 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Brunel Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 14:11:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] IB/mad: Test ib_create_send_mad() return with IS_ERR(), not == NULL 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@ expression x,E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = ib_create_send_mad(...) <... when != x = E if ( ( - x@p2 != NULL + ! IS_ERR ( x ) | - x@p2 == NULL + IS_ERR( x ) ) ) S1 else S2 ...> ? x = E; // Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier --- drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c b/drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c index d0ef7d61c03..3af2b84cd83 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/core/mad_rmpp.c @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ static void ack_recv(struct mad_rmpp_recv *rmpp_recv, msg = ib_create_send_mad(&rmpp_recv->agent->agent, recv_wc->wc->src_qp, recv_wc->wc->pkey_index, 1, hdr_len, 0, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!msg) + if (IS_ERR(msg)) return; format_ack(msg, (struct ib_rmpp_mad *) recv_wc->recv_buf.mad, rmpp_recv); -- 2.39.5
