From: Julia Lawall <redacted> If the NULL test is necessary, the initialization involving a dereference of the tested value should be moved after the NULL test. The sematic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ 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; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <redacted> --- drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
