Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: Fix checking address of an array in accum_label_info()
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2025 06:12:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250120-apparmor-pointer-bool-conversion-label-v1-1-5957d28ffde6@kernel.org> (raw)

clang warns:

  security/apparmor/label.c:206:15: error: address of array 'new->vec' will always evaluate to 'true' [-Werror,-Wpointer-bool-conversion]
    206 |         AA_BUG(!new->vec);
        |                ~~~~~~^~~

The address of this array can never be NULL because it is not at the
beginning of a structure. Convert the assertion to check that the new
pointer is not NULL.

Fixes: de4754c801f4 ("apparmor: carry mediation check on label")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202501191802.bDp2voTJ-lkp@intel.com/
