The patch 8ae6a7f5a3a8: "squashfs: enhance parallel I/O" from Oct 28, 2013, leads to the following Smatch complaint: fs/squashfs/decompressor_multi.c:124 squashfs_decompressor_destroy() error: we previously assumed 'stream' could be null (see line 111) fs/squashfs/decompressor_multi.c 110 struct squashfs_stream *stream = msblk->stream; 111 if (stream) { ^^^^^^ Patch introduces a check. 112 struct decomp_stream *decomp_strm; 113 114 while (!list_empty(&stream->strm_list)) { 115 decomp_strm = list_entry(stream->strm_list.prev, 116 struct decomp_stream, list); 117 list_del(&decomp_strm->list); 118 msblk->decompressor->free(decomp_strm->stream); 119 kfree(decomp_strm); 120 stream->avail_decomp--; 121 } 122 } 123 124 WARN_ON(stream->avail_decomp); 125 kfree(stream->comp_opts); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Patch introduces a couple unchecked dereferences. 126 kfree(stream); regards, dan carpenter
