Subject: re: brcm80211: fmac: remove alignment check from brcmf_sdioh_request_buffer()
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:52:47 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111129145247.GA7152@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Hello Arend van Spriel,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 8054321b7cb8: "brcm80211: fmac: remove alignment check from
brcmf_sdioh_request_buffer()" from Nov 22, 2011, leads to the
following Smatch complaint:
drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh_sdmmc.c +298 brcmf_sdioh_request_buffer()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'pkt' (see line 293)
drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/bcmsdh_sdmmc.c
292 int status;
293 uint pkt_len = pkt->len;
^^^^^^^^
New dereference.
294 bool fifo = (fix_inc == SDIOH_DATA_FIX);
295
296 brcmf_dbg(TRACE, "Enter\n");
297
298 if (pkt == NULL)
^^^^^^^^^^^
Old check. Probably the check can be removed. It from a quick glance
that this function is called from three places and pkt is always a valid
pointer.
299 return -EINVAL;
300
regards,
dan carpenter
