From bd1eb8818cc2c8ddab86be027ab43fb852942704 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Brunel Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 10:51:22 +0200 Subject: GFS2: Use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test In case of error, the function gfs2_inode_lookup returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that necessarily comes after an IS_ERR test should be deleted, and a NULL test that may come after a call to this function should be strengthened by an IS_ERR test. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @match_bad_null_test@ expression x, E; statement S1,S2; @@ x = gfs2_inode_lookup(...) ... when != x = E * if (x != NULL) S1 else S2 // Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse --- fs/gfs2/inode.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/gfs2/inode.c b/fs/gfs2/inode.c index 87525523446..c8a959c09f1 100644 --- a/fs/gfs2/inode.c +++ b/fs/gfs2/inode.c @@ -1033,13 +1033,11 @@ struct inode *gfs2_createi(struct gfs2_holder *ghs, const struct qstr *name, if (bh) brelse(bh); - if (!inode) - return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); return inode; fail_gunlock2: gfs2_glock_dq_uninit(ghs + 1); - if (inode) + if (inode && !IS_ERR(inode)) iput(inode); fail_gunlock: gfs2_glock_dq(ghs); -- cgit v1.2.3
