Ah thanks. That works.

It would be <include/fs.h> which should already be there if there is a 
file_operations structure.

I tried but failed. I get:

nit_defs_builtins: /usr/share/coccinelle/standard.h
between: p start 15 p end 15 m1 start 15 m1 end 15 m2 start 15 m2 end 15

   -int -open:open_f-struct -inode -*-open:i-, -struct -file -*-open:f
Fatal error: exception Failure("The semantic patch is structured in a 
way that may give bad results with isomorphisms.  Please try to rewrite 
it by moving + code out from -/context terms.")

When I add this:

@r1 depends on org || report @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
position p1;
@@
  int open_f@p1(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
  {
(
  if (i->i_private)
  f->private_data = i->i_private;
|
  f->private_data = i->i_private;
)
  return 0;
  }

@script:python depends on org@
p1 << r1.p1;
@@

cocci.print_main("extra function",p1)


Any ideas what's wrong?
