Subject: re: wl12xx: fix DMA-API-related warnings
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:48:58 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120416104858.GA24159@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Hello Mircea Gherzan,
The patch 690142e98826: "wl12xx: fix DMA-API-related warnings" from
Mar 17, 2012, leads to the following Smatch warning:
drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/cmd.c:126 wl1271_cmd_wait_for_event_or_timeout()
error: no modifiers for allocation.
static void wl1271_boot_fw_version(struct wl1271 *wl)
{
- struct wl1271_static_data static_data;
+ struct wl1271_static_data *static_data;
- wl1271_read(wl, wl->cmd_box_addr, &static_data, sizeof(static_data),
+ static_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*static_data), GFP_DMA);
^^^^^^^
You can't use GFP_DMA by itself like that, it needs to ORed with
GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC or something like that:
static_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*static_data), GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA);
+ if (!static_data) {
+ __WARN();
+ return;
There are a couple other places in this patch which do the same thing.
Could you fix it, please?
regards,
dan carpenter
