Hello Bart Van Assche, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 7277cc67b391: "skd: Avoid that module unloading triggers a use-after-free" from Aug 17, 2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint: drivers/block/skd_main.c:3080 skd_free_disk() error: we previously assumed 'disk' could be null (see line 3074) drivers/block/skd_main.c 3073 3074 if (disk && (disk->flags & GENHD_FL_UP)) ^^^^ Existing code checked for NULL. The new code shuffles things around. 3075 del_gendisk(disk); 3076 3077 if (skdev->queue) { 3078 blk_cleanup_queue(skdev->queue); 3079 skdev->queue = NULL; 3080 disk->queue = NULL; ^^^^^^^^^^^ Now we don't check here. 3081 } 3082 regards, dan carpenter
