Subject: re: driver core: add test of driver remove calls during probe
Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 07:17:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161011071737.GA6433@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Rob Herring,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch bea5b158ff0d: "driver core: add test of driver remove calls
during probe" from Aug 11, 2016, leads to the following Smatch
complaint:
drivers/base/dd.c:386 really_probe()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'dev->bus' (see line 373)
drivers/base/dd.c
372
373 if (dev->bus->probe) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Old code just dereferenced ->bus without checking.
374 ret = dev->bus->probe(dev);
375 if (ret)
376 goto probe_failed;
377 } else if (drv->probe) {
378 ret = drv->probe(dev);
379 if (ret)
380 goto probe_failed;
381 }
382
383 if (test_remove) {
384 test_remove = false;
385
386 if (dev->bus && dev->bus->remove)
^^^^^^^^
So this test can probably be removed.
387 dev->bus->remove(dev);
388 else if (drv->remove)
regards,
dan carpenter
