Subject: drivers/acpi/scan.c: inconsequent NULL handling
Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 21:41:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050324204109.GC3966@stusta.de> (raw)

The Coverity checker found the following:

<--  snip  -->

static int
acpi_bus_match (
        struct acpi_device      *device,
        struct acpi_driver      *driver)
{
        if (driver && driver->ops.match)
                return driver->ops.match(device, driver);
        return acpi_match_ids(device, driver->ids);
}

<--  snip  -->


Either driver can be NULL, in which case the driver->ids is a possible 
NULL pointer reference, or it can't, in which case the check whether 
it's NULL is superfluous.

       "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
