From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> If the NULL test on pr is needed, then the dereference should be after the NULL test. A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // <smpl> @match exists@ expression x, E; identifier fld; @@ * x->fld ... when != \(x = E\|&x\) * x == NULL // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c | 6 +++--- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c b/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c index 4c6c14c..1c5d7a8 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c @@ -1133,15 +1133,15 @@ int acpi_processor_get_throttling_info(struct acpi_processor *pr) int result = 0; struct acpi_processor_throttling *pthrottling; + if (!pr) + return -EINVAL; + ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "pblk_address[0x%08x] duty_offset[%d] duty_width[%d]\n", pr->throttling.address, pr->throttling.duty_offset, pr->throttling.duty_width)); - if (!pr) - return -EINVAL; - /* * Evaluate _PTC, _TSS and _TPC * They must all be present or none of them can be used. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
