Subject: re: staging: media: lirc: lirc_zilog.c: replace custom print macros with dev_* and pr_*
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 16:06:00 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141031130600.GA16310@mwanda> (raw)

Hello Aya Mahfouz,

The patch be4aa8157c98: "staging: media: lirc: lirc_zilog.c: replace
custom print macros with dev_* and pr_*" from Oct 26, 2014, leads to
the following static checker warning:

	drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c:1340 close()
	error: we previously assumed 'ir' could be null (see line 1339)

drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c
  1333  /* Close the IR device */
  1334  static int close(struct inode *node, struct file *filep)
  1335  {
  1336          /* find our IR struct */
  1337          struct IR *ir = filep->private_data;
  1338  
  1339          if (ir == NULL) {
                    ^^^^^^^^^^
  1340                  dev_err(ir->l.dev, "close: no private_data attached to the file!\n");
                                ^^^^^^^^^

I suggest you just delete the error message.  Can "ir" actually be NULL
here anyway?

  1341                  return -ENODEV;
  1342          }
  1343  

	drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c:1636 ir_probe()
	error: potential null dereference 'ir'.  (kzalloc returns null)

drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.c
  1614          dev_info(ir->l.dev, "IR unit on %s (i2c-%d) registered as lirc%d and ready\n",
  1615                     adap->name, adap->nr, ir->l.minor);
  1616  
  1617  out_ok:
  1618          if (rx != NULL)
  1619                  put_ir_rx(rx, true);
  1620          if (tx != NULL)
  1621                  put_ir_tx(tx, true);
  1622          put_ir_device(ir, true);
  1623          dev_info(ir->l.dev, "probe of IR %s on %s (i2c-%d) done\n",
  1624                     tx_probe ? "Tx" : "Rx", adap->name, adap->nr);
  1625          mutex_unlock(&ir_devices_lock);
  1626          return 0;
  1627  
  1628  out_put_xx:
  1629          if (rx != NULL)
  1630                  put_ir_rx(rx, true);
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Btw, I think this is a double free?  On some paths we call put_ir_rx()
before the goto out_put_xx;.

  1631          if (tx != NULL)
  1632                  put_ir_tx(tx, true);
  1633  out_put_ir:
  1634          put_ir_device(ir, true);
  1635  out_no_ir:
  1636          dev_err(ir->l.dev, "%s: probing IR %s on %s (i2c-%d) failed with %d\n",
                        ^^^^^^^^^
Null dereference.

  1637                      __func__, tx_probe ? "Tx" : "Rx", adap->name, adap->nr,
  1638                     ret);
  1639          mutex_unlock(&ir_devices_lock);
  1640          return ret;
  1641  }
