for_each_node iterators only exit normally when the loop cursor is
NULL, so there is no point to call of_node_put on the final value.

Find missing unlocks. This semantic match considers the specific case
where the unlock is missing from an if branch, and there is a lock
before the if and an unlock after the if. False positives are due to
cases where the if branch represents a case where the function is
supposed to exit with the lock held, or where there is some preceding
function call that releases the lock.

Find double locks. False positives may occur when some paths cannot
occur at execution, due to the values of variables, and when there is
an intervening function call that releases the lock.

Find functions that refer to GFP_KERNEL but are called with locks held.
The proposed change of converting the GFP_KERNEL is not necessarily the
correct one. It may be desired to unlock the lock, or to not call the
function under the lock in the first place.

deref_null.cocci is moved to the 'null' directory

This semantic patch looks for kmalloc etc that are not followed by a
NULL check. It only gives a report in the case where there is some
error handling code later in the function, which may be helpful
in determining what the error handling code for the call to kmalloc etc
should be.

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.

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.

This semantic patch replaces a pair of calls to kmalloc and memset
by a single call to kzalloc.
It only looks for simple cases to avoid false positives.

The purpose of this semantic patch is to remove
useless casts, as mentioned in the Linux documentation.
See Chapter 14 in Documentation/CodingStyle for more information.
