[lustre-devel] Fwd: [HPDD-discuss] [PATCH 01/12] staging: lustre: fid: Use !x to check for kzalloc failure

[Dilger, Andreas]

Yes, and IMHO this set of patches is not an improvement.

Cheers, Andreas

Question for lustre-devel...  Isn't this the opposite of the style that we're currently trying to use in Gerrit submissions?  Is my memory faulty?

!x is more normal for kzalloc failure in the kernel.

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

// <smpl>
@@
expression x;
statement S1, S2;
@@

x = kzalloc(...);
if (
- x == NULL
+ !x
 ) S1 else S2
// </smpl>
