From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> static analysis by cppcheck has found a check on alloc_bitset that always evaluates as false and hence never finds an allocation failure: [drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c:1689]: (warning) Logical conjunction always evaluates to false: !EXPR && EXPR. Fix this by removing the incorrect mq->cache_hit_bits check Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c b/drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c index b6f2265..48a4a82 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c @@ -1686,7 +1686,7 @@ static struct dm_cache_policy *smq_create(dm_cblock_t cache_size, if (from_cblock(cache_size)) { mq->cache_hit_bits = alloc_bitset(from_cblock(cache_size)); - if (!mq->cache_hit_bits && mq->cache_hit_bits) { + if (!mq->cache_hit_bits) { DMERR("couldn't allocate cache hit bitset"); goto bad_cache_hit_bits; } -- 2.1.4 -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
