The patch 1619cb6f2dd9: "staging: ozwpan: Added basic L2 protocol support" from Feb 20, 2012, leads to the following Smatch complaint: drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozproto.c:919 oz_protocol_init() error: we previously assumed 'devs' could be null (see line 915) drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozproto.c 914 skb_queue_head_init(&g_rx_queue); 915 if (devs && (devs[0] == '*')) { ^^^^ Checked. 916 oz_binding_add(0); 917 } else { 918 char d[32]; 919 while (*devs) { ^^^^^ Dereferenced without checking. 920 devs = oz_get_next_device_name(devs, d, sizeof(d)); 921 if (d[0]) Actually there are a bunch of Smatch warnings for this driver if someone wanted something to cleanup. drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozusbsvc.c:71 oz_usb_start() warn: returning -1 instead of -ENOMEM is sloppy drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c:283 oz_free_urb_link() info: redundant null check on urbl calling kfree() drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozhcd.c:1733 oz_hcd_urb_enqueue() info: why not propagate 'port_ix' from oz_get_port_from_addr() instead of -32? drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozpd.c:180 oz_pd_alloc() error: potential null derefence 'pd'. drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozpd.c:392 oz_tx_frame_free() warn: 'f' was already freed. drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozpd.c:393 oz_tx_frame_free() info: redundant null check on f calling kfree() drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozpd.c:654 oz_isoc_stream_create() warn: returning -1 instead of -ENOMEM is sloppy drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozpd.c:664 oz_isoc_stream_create() info: redundant null check on st calling kfree() drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozproto.c:560 oz_protocol_timer() info: redundant null check on t calling kfree() drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozproto.c:919 oz_protocol_init() error: we previously assumed 'devs' could be null (see line 915) drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozcdev.c:406 oz_cdev_start() warn: returning -1 instead of -ENOMEM is sloppy drivers/staging/ozwpan/ozeltbuf.c:138 oz_elt_stream_create() warn: returning -1 instead of -ENOMEM is sloppy regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
