From 67b172c097177835fbf5b0666885c4059a4f67ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Brunel Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:04:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs/reiserfs: use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test In case of error, the function open_xa_dir returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR test should be deleted. 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 = open_xa_dir(...) ... when != x = E ( * if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2 | * if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2 ) // Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Cc: Jeff Mahoney Cc: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/reiserfs/xattr.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/reiserfs/xattr.c b/fs/reiserfs/xattr.c index bb3cb5b7cdb2..ad92461cbfc3 100644 --- a/fs/reiserfs/xattr.c +++ b/fs/reiserfs/xattr.c @@ -155,7 +155,7 @@ static struct dentry *get_xa_file_dentry(const struct inode *inode, xadir = open_xa_dir(inode, flags); if (IS_ERR(xadir)) { return ERR_CAST(xadir); - } else if (xadir && !xadir->d_inode) { + } else if (!xadir->d_inode) { dput(xadir); return ERR_PTR(-ENODATA); } -- 2.20.1
