Hello Ben Skeggs, The patch 639c308effb9: "drm/nouveau/fb: namespace + nvidia gpu names (no binary change)" from Jan 14, 2015, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/fb/ramgk104.c:1297 gk104_ram_train_init() error: potential null dereference 'train'. (kzalloc returns null) drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/fb/ramgk104.c 1280 static int 1281 gk104_ram_train_init(struct nvkm_fb *pfb) 1282 { 1283 u8 ramcfg = nvbios_ramcfg_index(nv_subdev(pfb)); 1284 struct gk104_ram_train *train; 1285 int ret = -ENOMEM, i; 1286 1287 if ((train = kzalloc(sizeof(*train), GFP_KERNEL))) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Assume the allocation fails. 1288 for (i = 0; i < 0x100; i++) { 1289 ret = gk104_ram_train_type(pfb, i, ramcfg, train); 1290 if (ret && ret != -ENOENT) 1291 break; 1292 } 1293 } 1294 1295 switch (pfb->ram->type) { 1296 case NV_MEM_TYPE_GDDR5: 1297 ret = gk104_ram_train_init_0(pfb, train); ^^^^^ Dereferenced inside the gk104_ram_train_init_0() function. 1298 break; 1299 default: 1300 ret = 0; 1301 break; 1302 } 1303 1304 kfree(train); 1305 return ret; 1306 } regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
