From f40e0638237a2d3e2ce8bedf3af4b3c02cf6fff7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 15:43:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/net/hamradio: Move a dereference below a NULL test In each case, if the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be moved below the NULL test. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @@ 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; // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: David S.
