Ok, thanks. Was the removing of the ifs in related to the Coccinelle
bug? I
always get an error if I start a match with a conditional.

Not at all.  The bug was that a patterm like:

 @depends on patch@
 expression x;
 @@
 - IS_ERR(x)
 + IS_ERR_OR_NULL(x)
   || ...
 - || x == NULL

thought that it should be applied in two ways, giving an error about a
double transformation of the IS_ERR call.

Could you reproduce the example that caused problems?

Hm, I can reproduce it anymore, even with my original patch, must have been
caused by some other error I had in the semantic patch at that time.

OK, should do you want to resubmit the semantic patch that I sent you? The version of Coccinelle you have does not perfectly support it, but it should just cause failures on a few files. The problem is only with the patch case, when there is the possibility to mak two calls to IS_ERR_OR_NULL in a single test expression, which doesn't happen very often.
