Hello George Zhang,
The patch 06164d2b72aa: "VMCI: queue pairs implementation." from Jan
8, 2013, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_queue_pair.c:1145 qp_detatch_guest_work()
warn: we tested 'entry' before and it was 'true'"
drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_queue_pair.c
1140 entry->qp.ref_count--;
1141 if (entry->qp.ref_count = 0)
1142 qp_list_remove_entry(&qp_guest_endpoints, &entry->qp);
1143
1144 /* If we didn't remove the entry, this could change once we unlock. */
1145 if (entry)
^^^^^
This can never happen. The comment makes me think we intended to test
something else, but I'm not sure what?
1146 ref_count = entry->qp.ref_count;
1147
1148 mutex_unlock(&qp_guest_endpoints.mutex);
regards,
dan carpenter
