Very nice!

So I checked a few random examples in your list, and the false positive rate looks
rather low.

The current Kbuild integration of Cocci scripts is pretty user-hostile. I'd love
to make this Cocci check part of the regular build process in some fashion (if a
Kconfig option is enabled), similarly to how we run objtool for example. We could
emit the Cocci warnings as a regular compiler 'warning: ' message, so people will
notice them as part of the build?

The false positive(s) could either be worked around or annotated away.

Obviously we'd only use Cocci scripts that are known to be reliable.

Thanks,

Ingo
