From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> clang static analysis reports this problem dfs_cache.c:591:2: warning: Argument to kfree() is a constant address (18446744073709551614), which is not memory allocated by malloc() kfree(vi); ^~~~~~~~~ In dfs_cache_del_vol() the volume info pointer 'vi' being freed is the return of a call to find_vol(). The large constant address is find_vol() returning an error. Add an error check to dfs_cache_del_vol() similar to the one done in dfs_cache_update_vol().
