Hello Geliang Tang,
The patch e280d71bea18: "staging: rtl8723au: use
list_for_each_entry*()" from Feb 18, 2016, leads to the following
static checker warning:
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/core/rtw_sta_mgt.c:365 rtw_get_stainfo23a()
error: potential NULL dereference 'psta'.
drivers/staging/rtl8723au/core/rtw_sta_mgt.c
363 spin_lock_bh(&pstapriv->sta_hash_lock);
364 phead = &pstapriv->sta_hash[index];
365 list_for_each_entry(psta, phead, hash_list) {
366 /* if found the matched address */
367 if (ether_addr_equal(psta->hwaddr, addr))
368 break;
369
370 psta = NULL;
^^^^^^^^^^^
This leads to a NULL dereference if we don't the address is not first
in the list.
371 }
372 spin_unlock_bh(&pstapriv->sta_hash_lock);
373 return psta;
374 }
regards,
dan carpenter
