I didn't use any tools. Maybe some general tools, such as kw, coverity, coccicheck, are able to find these changes(as far as I know, they can).
In fact, I find these changes by my eyes. I believe 'err' is the most likely victim and checked every usage of it in 'net' directory. Here are all the changes I found, and I think there won't be too many.
