Subject: [bug report] net: phy: Fix lack of reference count on PHY driver
Date: Tue, 07 Feb 2017 10:50:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170207105000.GA30406@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Mao Wenan,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch cafe8df8b9bc: "net: phy: Fix lack of reference count on PHY
driver" from Jan 31, 2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c:933 phy_attach_direct()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'd->driver' (see line 923)
drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c
922
923 if (!try_module_get(d->driver->owner)) {
^^^^^^^^^^^
Patch introduces a new dereference.
924 dev_err(&dev->dev, "failed to get the device driver module\n");
925 return -EIO;
926 }
927
928 get_device(d);
929
930 /* Assume that if there is no driver, that it doesn't
931 * exist, and we should use the genphy driver.
932 */
933 if (!d->driver) {
^^^^^^^^^
Existing code assumed d->driver could be NULL.
934 if (phydev->is_c45)
935 d->driver
regards,
dan carpenter
