2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/deref_null.cocciNicolas Palix
Add a Coccinelle file to identify the dereferences of NULL variables This semantic patch identifies when a variable is known to be NULL after a test, but it is still dereferenced later.

2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/err_cast.cocciNicolas Palix
Add a Coccinelle file to use the ERR_CAST function Before the release 2.6.25, one had to use ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(...)) to convert the pointer type of an error. Since then, the function ERR_CAST has been available for that purpose.

2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocciNicolas Palix
