Hello Mikulas Patocka, The patch 90ed93c305a0: "dm flakey: clone pages on write bio before corrupting them" from May 1, 2023, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: drivers/md/dm.c:1157 clone_endio() warn: passing freed memory 'ti' drivers/md/dm.c 1105 static void clone_endio(struct bio *bio) 1106 { 1107 blk_status_t error = bio->bi_status; 1108 struct dm_target_io *tio = clone_to_tio(bio); 1109 struct dm_target *ti = tio->ti; 1110 dm_endio_fn endio = ti->type->end_io; 1111 struct dm_io *io = tio->io; 1112 struct mapped_device *md = io->md; 1113 1114 if (unlikely(error == BLK_STS_TARGET)) { 1115 if (bio_op(bio) == REQ_OP_DISCARD && 1116 !bdev_max_discard_sectors(bio->bi_bdev)) 1117 disable_discard(md); 1118 else if (bio_op(bio) == REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES && 1119 !bdev_write_zeroes_sectors(bio->bi_bdev)) 1120 disable_write_zeroes(md); 1121 } 1122 1123 if (static_branch_unlikely(&zoned_enabled) && 1124 unlikely(bdev_is_zoned(bio->bi_bdev))) 1125 dm_zone_endio(io, bio); 1126 1127 if (endio) { 1128 int r = endio(ti, bio, &error); clone_endio() from drivers/md/dm-flakey.c frees "ti".
