[PATCH V4] drm/xe/guc: Fix dereference before NULL check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The pointer list->list is dereferenced before the NULL check.
Fix this by moving the NULL check outside the for loop, so that
the check is performed before the dereferencing.
The list->list pointer cannot be NULL so this has no effect on runtime.
It's just a correctness issue.

This issue was reported by Coverity Scan.
