Hello Zhaoyang Liu,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 868093a9df75: "mwifiex: add dump data debug support" from
May 12, 2015, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/cmdevt.c:475 mwifiex_process_event()
error: we previously assumed 'skb' could be null (see line 467)
drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/cmdevt.c
466
467 if (skb) {
^^^
Old check for NULL.
468 rx_info = MWIFIEX_SKB_RXCB(skb);
469 memset(rx_info, 0, sizeof(*rx_info));
470 rx_info->bss_num = priv->bss_num;
471 rx_info->bss_type = priv->bss_type;
472 }
473
474 mwifiex_dbg(adapter, EVENT, "EVENT: cause: %#x\n", eventcause);
475 mwifiex_dbg_dump(adapter, EVT_D, "Event Buf:", skb->data, skb->len);
^^^^^
Patch introduces unchecked dereference.
476
477 if (priv->bss_role == MWIFIEX_BSS_ROLE_UAP)
regards,
dan carpenter
