From 773adff8e983cba1f5844c3be3be224ca6645f26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 19:08:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [GFS2] test for IS_ERR rather than 0 The function gfs2_inode_lookup always returns either a valid pointer or a value made with ERR_PTR, so its result should be tested with IS_ERR, not with a test for 0. The problem was found using the following semantic match.
