19 * First of all, it's best if you lower your expectations from finding
20 * errors to just finding suspicious code. There tends to be a lot
21 * of false positives so having low expectations helps.
23 * For this test let's look for functions that return a negative value
24 * with a semaphore held.
26 * This is just a template check. It's designed for teaching
27 * only and is deliberately less useful than it could be. check_locking.c
28 * is a better real world test.
30 * The biggest short coming is that it assumes a function isn't supposed
31 * to return negative with a lock held. Also it assumes the function was
32 * called without the lock held. It would be better if it handled the stuff
33 * like this:
34 * ret = -ENOMEM;
35 * return ret;
36 * Another idea would be to test other kinds of locks besides just semaphores.
