Subject: [SMATCH] Can also be NULL false positive
Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2026 11:16:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DHN232LGVF2I.2WZOQ5XLIFQK9@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Dan,
Smatch gives these two warnings:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_crtc.c:333 __intel_crtc_init() warn: 'primary' can also be NULL
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_crtc.c:348 __intel_crtc_init() warn: 'plane' can also be NULL
if (DISPLAY_VER(display) >= 9)
primary = skl_universal_plane_create(display, pipe, PLANE_1);
else
primary = intel_primary_plane_create(display, pipe);
if (IS_ERR(primary)) {
ret = PTR_ERR(primary);
goto fail;
}
crtc->plane_ids_mask |= BIT(primary->id);
and
if (DISPLAY_VER(display) >= 9)
plane = skl_universal_plane_create(display, pipe, PLANE_2 + sprite);
else
plane = intel_sprite_plane_create(display, pipe, sprite);
if (IS_ERR(plane)) {
ret = PTR_ERR(plane);
goto fail;
}
crtc->plane_ids_mask |= BIT(plane->id);
But, this is a false positive because skl_universal_plane_create() and
intel_sprite_plane_create() never return NULL and always error pointers.
Thanks,
ET
