Considering code such as the following (drivers/acpi/osl.c):
struct acpi_os_dpc *dpc = container_of(work, struct acpi_os_dpc, work);
if (!dpc) {
printk(KERN_ERR PREFIX "Invalid (NULL) context\n");
return;
}
Is it very likely that container_of can return NULL? Container_of
computes an offset from a pointer, so I have the impression that if given
a NULL value it would normally return a negative number (or a very large
positive one, depending on how it is interpreted).
thanks,
julia
