[ofa-general] [PATCH 3/5] drivers/infiniband: test for IS_ERR rather than 0

From: Julia Lawall <julia at diku.dk>

The function rdma_create_id always returns either a valid pointer or a
value made with ERR_PTR, so its result should be tested with IS_ERR, not
with a test for 0.


The problem was found using the following semantic match.
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

E = rdma_create_id(...)
... when != E = E1
if at p (E) S else S1

@n@
position a.p;
expression E,E1;
statement S,S1;

E = NULL
... when != E = E1
if at p (E) S else S1

@depends on !n@
expression E;
statement S,S1;
position a.p;

* if at p (E)
  S else S1
