If pcim_iomap_table() fails, it returns NULL. But then we assign "vaddr = NULL[vsec_data.rg.bar]" which dereferences the NULL pointer even before your test. This "pcim_iomap_table(dev)[n]" pattern is extremely common. There are over 100 calls of pcim_iomap_table(), and $ git grep "pcim_iomap_table(.*)\[.*\]" | wc -l says about 75 of them are of this form, where we dereference the result before testing it. > dw->rg_region.vaddr += vsec_data.rg.off; > dw->rg_region.paddr = pdev->resource[vsec_data.rg.bar].start; > dw->rg_region.paddr += vsec_data.rg.off; > @@ -250,12 +253,18 @@ static int dw_edma_pcie_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev, > struct dw_edma_block *dt_block = &vsec_data.dt_wr[i]; > > ll_region->vaddr = pcim_iomap_table(pdev)[ll_block->bar]; > + if (!ll_region->vaddr) > + return -ENOMEM; > + > ll_region->vaddr += ll_block->off; > ll_region->paddr = pdev->resource[ll_block->bar].start; > ll_region->paddr += ll_block->off; > ll_region->sz = ll_block->sz; > > dt_region->vaddr = pcim_iomap_table(pdev)[dt_block->bar]; > + if (!dt_region->vaddr) > + return -ENOMEM; > + > dt_region->vaddr += dt_block->off; > dt_region->paddr = pdev->resource[dt_block->bar].start; > dt_region->paddr += dt_block->off; > @@ -269,12 +278,18 @@ static int dw_edma_pcie_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev, > struct dw_edma_block *dt_block = &vsec_data.dt_rd[i]; > > ll_region->vaddr = pcim_iomap_table(pdev)[ll_block->bar]; > + if (!ll_region->vaddr) > + return -ENOMEM; > + > ll_region->vaddr += ll_block->off; > ll_region->paddr = pdev->resource[ll_block->bar].start; > ll_region->paddr += ll_block->off; > ll_region->sz = ll_block->sz; > > dt_region->vaddr = pcim_iomap_table(pdev)[dt_block->bar]; > + if (!dt_region->vaddr) > + return -ENOMEM; > + > dt_region->vaddr += dt_block->off; > dt_region->paddr = pdev->resource[dt_block->bar].start; > dt_region->paddr += dt_block->off; > -- > 2.7.4 >
