KVM: correct error-handling code
This code is not executed before file has been initialized to the result of calling eventfd_fget. This function returns an ERR_PTR value in an error case instead of NULL. Thus the test that file is not NULL is always true. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @match exists@ expression x, E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = eventfd_fget(...) ... when != x = E ( * if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2 | * if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2 ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
