Subject: re: ath6kl: Remove redundant pointer check
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 16:00:02 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120207130002.GA14460@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Hello Sujith Manoharan,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 4a8ce2fd055f: "ath6kl: Remove redundant pointer check" from
Jan 10, 2012, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c:1061 ath6kl_cfg80211_add_key()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'params' (see line 1026)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c
1025 memcpy(key->seq, params->seq, key->seq_len);
1026 key->cipher = params->cipher;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
dereference.
1027
1028 switch (key->cipher) {
1029 case WLAN_CIPHER_SUITE_WEP40:
1030 case WLAN_CIPHER_SUITE_WEP104:
1031 key_type = WEP_CRYPT;
1032 break;
[ snip ]
1058
1059 if (vif->nw_type == AP_NETWORK && !pairwise &&
1060 (key_type == TKIP_CRYPT || key_type == AES_CRYPT ||
1061 key_type == WAPI_CRYPT) && params) {
^^^^^^
check. This check is redundant too so we should remove it as well.
1062 ar->ap_mode_bkey.valid = true;
1063 ar->ap_mode_bkey.key_index = key_index;
regards,
dan carpenter
