smatch complains about a possible buffer overflow slicoss.c:3651 slic_card_locate() error: buffer overflow 'physcard->adapter' 4 <= 4 If the for loop is not exited prematurely i++ is executed after the last iteration and thus i can be 4, which is out of bounds for physcard->adapter. -> Add check for this condition and simplify the if statement by inverting the condition.
