Subject: [bug report] hwmon: Add "label" attribute
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2022 11:52:45 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220127085245.GF25644@kili> (raw)
Hello Paul Cercueil,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 073c3ea6c530: "hwmon: Add "label" attribute" from Jan 10,
2022, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c:825 __hwmon_device_register()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'dev' (see line 810)
drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c
809
810 if (device_property_present(dev, "label")) {
^^^
The patch adds a new unchecked dereference
811 err = device_property_read_string(dev, "label", &label);
812 if (err < 0)
813 goto free_hwmon;
814
815 hwdev->label = kstrdup(label, GFP_KERNEL);
816 if (hwdev->label == NULL) {
817 err = -ENOMEM;
818 goto free_hwmon;
819 }
820 }
821
822 hwdev->name = name;
823 hdev->class = &hwmon_class;
824 hdev->parent = dev;
825 hdev->of_node = dev ? dev->of_node : NULL;
^^^
Existing code checked for NULL
826 hwdev->chip = chip;
827 dev_set_drvdata(hdev, drvdata);
regards,
dan carpenter
