Maybe I'm misunderstanding the coccinelle patch here, but
I don't see how it produces the results in the patchset.
ranges_overlap() takes arguments (start1, len1, start2, len2),
but an expression like "E2 <= E3 || E1 >= E4" is working
with start,end pairs to indicate the ranges. And looking
at e.g. patch 9:
- if (cur->phys_addr >= begin + length ||
- cur->phys_addr + cur->length <= begin) {
+ if (!ranges_overlap(cur->phys_addr, cur->length, begin, length)) {
the kind of if() check you get for start, length pairs
has an addition in it, which I don't see in any of these
coccinelle script fragments.
