You might want to try running Smatch on your patches. This is the second one where maybe the results would have been interesting. git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git cd smatch make cd ~/kernel/src/ ~/smatch/smatch_scripts/kchecker drivers/staging/ks7010/ks_hostif.c This patch introduced a problem, but the earlier one fixed a potential problem in rtl8723bs: drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c:1274 OnAssocReq() error: uninitialized symbol 'ie_len'. Unfortunately, Smatch missed the potential NULL dereference in OnAssocReq()... It wouldn't be that hard to fix... regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
