[PATCH 2/5] drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/dma.c: eliminate a null pointer dereference

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Fri Oct 28 2011 - 19:59:45 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

Delete di->name from the error reporting code, as it is meaningless if di
is NULL.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
expression E, E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;
@@

if (E == NULL)
{
... when != if (E == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
when != E = E1
*E->f
... when any
return ...;
}
else S3
// </smpl>
