Hello George Cherian,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch c694b233295b: "crypto: cavium - Add the Virtual Function
driver for CPT" from Feb 7, 2017, leads to the following Smatch
complaint:
drivers/crypto/cavium/cpt/cptvf_reqmanager.c:333 do_post_process()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'cptvf' (see line 331)
drivers/crypto/cavium/cpt/cptvf_reqmanager.c
330 {
331 struct pci_dev *pdev = cptvf->pdev;
^^^^^^^^^^^
Dereference.
332
333 if (!info || !cptvf) {
^^^^^
Check is too late.
334 dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Input params are incorrect for post processing\n");
335 return;
regards,
dan carpenter
