From: Julia Lawall <[email protected]> If the NULL test is necessary, the initialization involving a dereference of the tested value should be moved after the NULL test.
The sematic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ type T; expression E; identifier i,fld; statement S; @@ - T i = E->fld; + T i; ... when != E when != i if (E == NULL) S + i = E->fld; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <[email protected]> --- drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c index 3b5c457..d15c888 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c @@ -538,11 +538,12 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cpdma_chan_create); int cpdma_chan_destroy(struct cpdma_chan *chan) { - struct cpdma_ctlr *ctlr = chan->ctlr; + struct cpdma_ctlr *ctlr; unsigned long flags; if (!chan) return -EINVAL; + ctlr = chan->ctlr; spin_lock_irqsave(&ctlr->lock, flags); if (chan->state != CPDMA_STATE_IDLE) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
