When a list is completely iterated with 'list_for_each_entry(x, ...)', x is not NULL at the end. While at it, remove a useless initialization of the ndev variable. It is overridden by 'list_for_each_entry'. Fixes: f2663872f073 ("crypto: cavium - Register the CNN55XX supported crypto algorithms.") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: Do not introduce an extra variable to check if the list has been fully iterated. Test with "if (&ndev->list == &ndevlist)" instead --- drivers/crypto/cavium/nitrox/nitrox_main.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/crypto/cavium/nitrox/nitrox_main.c b/drivers/crypto/cavium/nitrox/nitrox_main.c index 788c6607078b..cee2a2713038 100644 --- a/drivers/crypto/cavium/nitrox/nitrox_main.c +++ b/drivers/crypto/cavium/nitrox/nitrox_main.c @@ -278,7 +278,7 @@ static void nitrox_remove_from_devlist(struct nitrox_device *ndev) struct nitrox_device *nitrox_get_first_device(void) { - struct nitrox_device *ndev = NULL; + struct nitrox_device *ndev; mutex_lock(&devlist_lock); list_for_each_entry(ndev, &ndevlist, list) { @@ -286,7 +286,7 @@ struct nitrox_device *nitrox_get_first_device(void) break; } mutex_unlock(&devlist_lock); - if (!ndev) + if (&ndev->list == &ndevlist) return NULL; refcount_inc(&ndev->refcnt); -- 2.25.1
