Hello Daniel Borkmann, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 604326b41a6f: "bpf, sockmap: convert to generic sk_msg interface" from Oct 13, 2018, leads to the following Smatch complaint: net/core/skmsg.c:792 sk_psock_write_space() error: we previously assumed 'psock' could be null (see line 790) net/core/skmsg.c 789 psock = sk_psock(sk); 790 if (likely(psock && sk_psock_test_state(psock, SK_PSOCK_TX_ENABLED))) ^^^^^ Check for NULL 791 schedule_work(&psock->work); 792 write_space = psock->saved_write_space; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 793 rcu_read_unlock(); 794 write_space(sk); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The warning is on the wrong line. The dereference is really here. regards, dan carpenter
