  To: kernel-janitors; +Cc: linux-kernel

These bugs are when code dereferences a variable and then checks that it is not null.
The new thing is that I wrote a shell script to try remove the false positives caused
by macros.  There are still some false positives because smatch is bad at handling 
loops and knowing when a container got redefined.

Sometimes the fixes are not obvious.

This is the output of: /path/to/smatch_scripts/filter_kernel_deref_check.sh warns.txt

The first two in the list are not false positives but let's take number 3.

   189          if (!permits)

   191
   192          memcpy(permits->permits, xpermits->permits,
   193                 count * sizeof(struct afs_permit));
   194
   195          _debug("key %x access %x",
   196                 key_serial(key), vnode->status.caller_access);
   197          permits->permits[count].access_mask = vnode->status.caller_access;
   198          permits->permits[count].key = key_get(key);
   199          permits->count = count + 1;
   200
   201          rcu_assign_pointer(auth_vnode->permits, permits);
   202          if (xpermits)
   203                  call_rcu(&xpermits->rcu, afs_dispose_of_permits);
 
If xpermits were null we would oops on line 192.  It does look like xpermits
can be null.

I suspect the right fix is to test xpermits on line 170 and goto_unlock if
it is null.  We could remove the if statements on lines 171 and 202.
But it would be better to really dig into it and find out for sure if xpermits 
can be null.

Quite a few of the fixes are not straightforward.  Sometimes maybe a variable
could become null inside a function.  Smatch wouldn't catch that.  Some of 
the checks could be removed, but if they don't hurt anything is it worth it?
