[PATCH 2/5] drivers/block: Correct NULL test

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Sun Dec 27 2009 - 16:27:27 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

Test the just-allocated value for NULL rather than some other value.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression x,y;
statement S;
@@

x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...);
(
if ((x) == NULL) S
|
if (
- y
+ x
== NULL)
S
)
// </smpl>
