From 3040c8203d68a9a0564af81729085054fd6b5b03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:42:47 +0200 Subject: HID: Drop NULL test on list_entry result list_entry, which is an alias for container_of, cannot return NULL, as there is no way to add a NULL value to a doubly linked list. A simplified version of the semantic match that findds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @r@ expression x,E; statement S1,S2; position p,p1; @@ *x = list_entry@p(...) ... when != x = E *if@p1 (x == NULL) S1 else S2 // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina --- drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c') diff --git a/drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c b/drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c index 95835ea5690f..987abebe0829 100644 --- a/drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c +++ b/drivers/hid/hid-lgff.c @@ -151,11 +151,6 @@ int lgff_init(struct hid_device* hid) /* Check that the report looks ok */ report = list_entry(report_list->next, struct hid_report, list); - if (!report) { - err_hid("NULL output report"); - return -1; - } - field = report->field[0]; if (!field) { err_hid("NULL field"); -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
