Hello Marcelo Ricardo Leitner,

This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.

The patch 56ef9c909b40: "vxlan: Move socket initialization to within 
rtnl scope" from Mar 18, 2015, leads to the following Smatch 
complaint:

drivers/net/vxlan.c:2267 vxlan_stop()
	 error: we previously assumed 'vs' could be null (see line 2257)

drivers/net/vxlan.c
  2256	
  2257		if (vs && vxlan_addr_multicast(&vxlan->default_dst.remote_ip) &&
                    ^^
Existing code assumed "vs" could be NULL.

  2258		    !vxlan_group_used(vn, vxlan)) {
  2259			ret = vxlan_igmp_leave(vxlan);
  2260			if (ret)
  2261				return ret;
  2262		}
  2263	
  2264		del_timer_sync(&vxlan->age_timer);
  2265	
  2266		vxlan_flush(vxlan);
  2267		vxlan_sock_release(vs);
                                   ^^
Patch adds new unchecked dereference.

  2268	
  2269		return ret;

regards,
dan carpenter

Dan Carpenter's static checker warned that in vxlan_stop we are checking
if 'vs' can be NULL while later we simply derreference it.

As after commit 56ef9c909b40 ("vxlan: Move socket initialization to
within rtnl scope") 'vs' just cannot be NULL in vxlan_stop() anymore, as
the interface won't go up if the socket initialization fails. So we are
good to just remove the check and make it consistent.
