Yep, I agree. That's for these cases that I preferred having a test against wacom->shared not null rather than (features->quirks & WACOM_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT). > > 603 wacom->reporting_data = false; > 604 > > [ snip ] > > 1072 static int wacom_24hdt_irq(struct wacom_wac *wacom) > 1073 { > 1074 struct input_dev *input = wacom->input; > 1075 unsigned char *data = wacom->data; > 1076 int i; > 1077 int current_num_contacts = data[61]; > 1078 int contacts_to_send = 0; > 1079 int num_contacts_left = 4; /* maximum contacts per packet */ > 1080 int byte_per_packet = WACOM_BYTES_PER_24HDT_PACKET; > 1081 int y_offset = 2; > 1082 static int contact_with_no_pen_down_count = 0; > 1083 > 1084 if (wacom->features.type == WACOM_27QHDT) { > 1085 current_num_contacts = data[63]; > 1086 num_contacts_left = 10; > 1087 byte_per_packet = WACOM_BYTES_PER_QHDTHID_PACKET; > 1088 y_offset = 0; > 1089 } > 1090 > 1091 /* > 1092 * First packet resets the counter since only the first > 1093 * packet in series will have non-zero current_num_contacts. > 1094 */ > 1095 if (current_num_contacts) { > 1096 wacom->num_contacts_left = current_num_contacts; > 1097 contact_with_no_pen_down_count = 0; > 1098 } > 1099 > 1100 contacts_to_send = min(num_contacts_left, wacom->num_contacts_left); > 1101 > 1102 for (i = 0; i < contacts_to_send; i++) { > 1103 int offset = (byte_per_packet * i) + 1; > 1104 bool touch = (data[offset] & 0x1) && !wacom->shared->stylus_in_proximity; > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > I assume this hardware is always quirky so this won't cause a NULL > deref? Yes. 24hdt has the quirk WACOM_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT, so wacom->shared can not be null. I wonder what we could put in the code to make static checkers happy... Thanks for the report and the analysis!
