From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> The result of container_of should not be NULL. In particular, in this case the argument to the enclosing function has passed though INIT_WORK, which dereferences it, implying that its container cannot be NULL. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ identifier fn,work,x,fld; type T; expression E1,E2; statement S; @@ static fn(struct work_struct *work) { ... when != work = E1 x = container_of(work,T,fld) ... when != x = E2 - if (x == NULL) S ... } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/hvc_console.c | 2 -- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/hvc_console.c b/drivers/char/hvc_console.c index 94e7e3c..e367630 100644 --- a/drivers/char/hvc_console.c +++ b/drivers/char/hvc_console.c @@ -516,8 +516,6 @@ static void hvc_set_winsz(struct work_struct *work) struct winsize ws; hp = container_of(work, struct hvc_struct, tty_resize); - if (!hp) - return; spin_lock_irqsave(&hp->lock, hvc_flags); if (!hp->tty) { -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
