So after a call to this function, a NULL test should be replaced by an IS_ERR test. Moreover, we have noticed that: (1) the result of isp1760_register is assigned through the function pci_set_drvdata without an error test, (2) if the call to isp1760_register fails, the current function (isp1761_pci_probe) returns 0, and if it succeeds, it returns -ENOMEM, which seems odd. Thus, we suggest to move the test before the call to pci_set_drvdata to correct (1), and to turn it into a non IS_ERR test to correct (2). The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @bad_null_test@ expression x,E; statement S1, S2; @@ x = isp1760_register(...) ... when != x = E * if (x == NULL) S1 else S2 // Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/isp1760-if.c b/drivers/usb/host/isp1760-if.c index 051ef7b6bdc..ad44bd60df9 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/isp1760-if.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/isp1760-if.c @@ -232,9 +232,10 @@ static int __devinit isp1761_pci_probe(struct pci_dev *dev, hcd = isp1760_register(pci_mem_phy0, length, dev->irq, IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_DISABLED, &dev->dev, dev_name(&dev->dev), devflags); - pci_set_drvdata(dev, hcd); - if (!hcd) + if (!IS_ERR(hcd)) { + pci_set_drvdata(dev, hcd); return 0; + } clean: status = -ENODEV; iounmap(iobase);
