Subject: drivers/ieee1394/ohci1394.c: function calls without effect
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 12:41:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060309114138.GA21864@stusta.de> (raw)

While investigating two (incorrect) errors of the Coverity checker, I 
found the following in drivers/ieee1394/ohci1394.c:ohci1394_pci_remove():

                /* Free IR dma */
                free_dma_rcv_ctx(&ohci->ir_legacy_context);

                /* Free IT dma */
                free_dma_trm_ctx(&ohci->it_legacy_context);

                /* Free IR legacy dma */
                free_dma_rcv_ctx(&ohci->ir_legacy_context);


Both functions contain:


<--  snip  -->

static void free_dma_rcv_ctx(struct dma_rcv_ctx *d)
{
        int i;
        struct ti_ohci *ohci = d->ohci;

        if (ohci == NULL)
                return;
...
        /* Mark this context as freed. */
        d->ohci = NULL;
}

<--  snip  -->


There are no other return possibilities in these functions.


Therefore, the latter two of the three function calls above aren't doing 
anything.
