Hello Daniel Vetter, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 76b58b03806b: "drm/atomic-helpers: Properly avoid full modeset dance" from Mar 26, 2015, leads to the following Smatch complaint: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c:615 disable_outputs() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'connector->state->crtc' (see line 591) drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c 590 if (!old_crtc_state->active || 591 !needs_modeset(connector->state->crtc->state)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Patch introduces a new dereference. 592 continue; 593 594 encoder = old_conn_state->best_encoder; 595 596 /* We shouldn't get this far if we didn't previously have 597 * an encoder.. but WARN_ON() rather than explode. 598 */ 599 if (WARN_ON(!encoder)) 600 continue; 601 602 funcs = encoder->helper_private; 603 604 DRM_DEBUG_ATOMIC("disabling [ENCODER:%d:%s]\n", 605 encoder->base.id, encoder->name); 606 607 /* 608 * Each encoder has at most one connector (since we always steal 609 * it away), so we won't call disable hooks twice. 610 */ 611 if (encoder->bridge) 612 encoder->bridge->funcs->disable(encoder->bridge); 613 614 /* Right function depends upon target state. */ 615 if (connector->state->crtc && funcs->prepare) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Existing code checks for NULL. 616 funcs->prepare(encoder); 617 else if (funcs->disable) regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
