Hello Christian König, The patch 5918045c4ed4: "drm/scheduler: rework job destruction" from Apr 18, 2019, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler/sched_main.c:297 drm_sched_job_timedout() error: potential NULL dereference 'job'. drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler/sched_main.c 279 static void drm_sched_job_timedout(struct work_struct *work) 280 { 281 struct drm_gpu_scheduler *sched; 282 struct drm_sched_job *job; 283 unsigned long flags; 284 285 sched = container_of(work, struct drm_gpu_scheduler, work_tdr.work); 286 job = list_first_entry_or_null(&sched->ring_mirror_list, 287 struct drm_sched_job, node); 288 289 if (job) ^^^ We assume that job can be NULL. 290 job->sched->ops->timedout_job(job); 291 292 /* 293 * Guilty job did complete and hence needs to be manually removed 294 * See drm_sched_stop doc. 295 */ 296 if (sched->free_guilty) { Originally (last week) this check was "if (list_empty(&job->node))" which is obviously problematic if job is NULL. It's not clear to me that this new check ensures that job is non-NULL either. 297 job->sched->ops->free_job(job); ^^^^^ Dereference. 298 sched->free_guilty = false; 299 } 300 301 spin_lock_irqsave(&sched->job_list_lock, flags); 302 drm_sched_start_timeout(sched); 303 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sched->job_list_lock, flags); 304 } regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
