I would suggest to write the rule in a more robust way, as follows: @@ identifier e3; type t; t *e1; @@ ( - list_entry(e1->e3.next,t,e3) + list_next_entry(e1,e3) | - list_entry(e1->e3.prev,t,e3) + list_prev_entry(e1,e3) ) @@ expression e1; identifier e3; @@ ( - list_entry(e1->e3.next,typeof(*e1),e3) + list_next_entry(e1,e3) | - list_entry(e1->e3.prev,typeof(*e1),e3) + list_prev_entry(e1,e3) This checks that the type that is specified corresponds to the one on e1. It could actually be that the call is getting the first element of a list, from some different type, and coincidentally the two types have the same field name for the list element. Unfortunately, the second rule, with the typeof call, doesn't currently work in Coccinelle, because the semantic patch language doesn't actually support typeof, and thinks that it is a function call. I will fix this. To make a semantic patch for the kernel, you can try running spgen on the above file and answer the questions that it asks. You can find examples in the coccinelle/scripts directory. Just run spgen foo.cocci Then answer the questions. Then run spgen foo.cocci > foo_for_kernel.cocci The second run will use the results of the first run to print the semantic patch. Let me know if you have any questions. You can always adjust the semantic patch that is generated by hand afterwards if needed. </blockquote><div> </div><div>Thanks Julia for explanation and it helped me to learn about Spgen tool. </div><div>I'll make the changes and resend.
