Subject: [bug report] staging: r8188eu: Fix smatch warnings in os_dep/*.c
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2021 16:15:15 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210917131515.GA31208@kili> (raw)
Hello Larry and Martin,
The patch 0d5e4bfe47ea: "staging: r8188eu: Fix smatch warnings in
os_dep/*.c" from Aug 11, 2021, leads to the following
Smatch static checker warning:
drivers/staging/r8188eu/os_dep/usb_intf.c:286 rtw_hw_resume()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'padapter' (see line 284)
drivers/staging/r8188eu/os_dep/usb_intf.c
281 int rtw_hw_resume(struct adapter *padapter)
282 {
283 struct pwrctrl_priv *pwrpriv;
284 struct net_device *pnetdev = padapter->pnetdev;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dereferenced
285
--> 286 if (!padapter)
^^^^^^^^^
Checked too late.
This warning was silenced when Smatch could tell that "padapter" was
non-NULL but Martin removed the last caller in commit c0a099b7341c
("staging: r8188eu: bHWPwrPindetect is always false").
So the correct fix is to just delete this function?
287 goto error_exit;
288 pwrpriv = &padapter->pwrctrlpriv;
289 DBG_88E("==> rtw_hw_resume\n");
290 _enter_pwrlock(&pwrpriv->lock);
291 pwrpriv->bips_processing = true;
292 rtw_reset_drv_sw(padapter);
293
regards,
dan carpenter
