And I also know that doing: struct cp2615_i2c_transfer_result *i2c_r = (struct cp2615_i2c_transfer_result *)&msg->data; is fine even when "msg" is NULL.

I don't have time to fix it up. :/ drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cp2615.c 124 static int 125 cp2615_i2c_send(struct usb_interface *usbif, struct cp2615_i2c_transfer *i2c_w) 126 { 127 struct cp2615_iop_msg *msg = kzalloc(sizeof(*msg), GFP_KERNEL); Don't put functions which can fail inside the declaration block. Although, it is relatively uncommon to put allocations inside the declaration block these sorts of allocations are over represented when it comes to memory leaks and other static analysis bugs. 128 struct usb_device *usbdev = interface_to_usbdev(usbif); 129 int res = cp2615_init_i2c_msg(msg, i2c_w); Handle failures immediately. Try not to mix the error paths and the success paths. After a function call, then you're going to have to deal with both failure and success path, but the failure path is just "clean up and return an error code" and the success path is hopefully going to continue for days or months. So get the shorter failure path out of the way first, then continue with the success path. 130 131 if (!res) Always do error handling, don't do success handling. 132 res = usb_bulk_msg(usbdev, usb_sndbulkpipe(usbdev, IOP_EP_OUT), 133 msg, ntohs(msg->length), NULL, 0); The success path should be indented one tab and the error handling should be indented two tabs. 134 kfree(msg); 135 return res; 136 } The function should look like this. static int cp2615_i2c_send(struct usb_interface *usbif, struct cp2615_i2c_transfer *i2c_w) { struct usb_device *usbdev = interface_to_usbdev(usbif); struct cp2615_iop_msg *msg; int res; msg = kzalloc(sizeof(*msg), GFP_KERNEL); if (!msg) return -ENOMEM; res = cp2615_init_i2c_msg(msg, i2c_w); if (res) goto free; res = usb_bulk_msg(usbdev, usb_sndbulkpipe(usbdev, IOP_EP_OUT), msg, ntohs(msg->length), NULL, 0); free: kfree(msg); return res; } regards, dan carpenter
