Subject: Re: [PATCH] megaraid: add scsi_cmnd NULL check before use
Date: Mon, 9 May 2016 11:05:51 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160509080551.GH29510@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1605081235490.19865@nippy.intranet>

Smatch doesn't quite catch it because we check "cmd_fusion->scmd" for
NULL then assign "scmd_local = cmd_fusion->scmd;" and dereference
scmd_local unconditionally...

It does catch part of the bug if you have cross function analysis:

  drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_fusion.c:2318 complete_cmd_fusion()
  error: we previously assumed 'cmd_fusion->scmd' could be null (see line 2281)

But that code was from 2010 so I never reported it to the original
author or the list.

regards,
dan carpenter
