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/isdn/hisax/amd7930_fn.c | 2 -- drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_pci.c | 2 -- drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_sx.c | 2 -- drivers/isdn/hisax/icc.c | 2 -- drivers/isdn/hisax/isac.c | 2 -- drivers/isdn/hisax/w6692.c | 2 -- 6 files changed, 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/isdn/hisax/amd7930_fn.c b/drivers/isdn/hisax/amd7930_fn.c index 341faf5..bf526a7 100644 --- a/drivers/isdn/hisax/amd7930_fn.c +++ b/drivers/isdn/hisax/amd7930_fn.c @@ -238,8 +238,6 @@ Amd7930_bh(struct work_struct *work) container_of(work, struct IsdnCardState, tqueue); struct PStack *stptr; - if (!cs) - return; if (test_and_clear_bit(D_CLEARBUSY, &cs->event)) { if (cs->debug) debugl1(cs, "Amd7930: bh, D-Channel Busy cleared"); diff --git a/drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_pci.c b/drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_pci.c index 3d337d9..d110a77 100644 --- a/drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_pci.c +++ b/drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_pci.c @@ -1506,8 +1506,6 @@ hfcpci_bh(struct work_struct *work) u_long flags; // struct PStack *stptr; - if (!cs) - return; if (test_and_clear_bit(D_L1STATECHANGE, &cs->event)) { if (!cs->hw.hfcpci.nt_mode) switch (cs->dc.hfcpci.ph_state) { diff --git a/drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_sx.c b/drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_sx.c index d92e8d6..419f87c 100644 --- a/drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_sx.c +++ b/drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_sx.c @@ -1255,8 +1255,6 @@ hfcsx_bh(struct work_struct *work) container_of(work, struct IsdnCardState, tqueue); u_long flags; - if (!cs) - return; if (test_and_clear_bit(D_L1STATECHANGE, &cs->event)) { if (!cs->hw.hfcsx.nt_mode) switch (cs->dc.hfcsx.ph_state) { diff --git a/drivers/isdn/hisax/icc.c b/drivers/isdn/hisax/icc.c index 682cac3..9aba646 100644 --- a/drivers/isdn/hisax/icc.c +++ b/drivers/isdn/hisax/icc.c @@ -83,8 +83,6 @@ icc_bh(struct work_struct *work) container_of(work, struct IsdnCardState, tqueue); struct PStack *stptr; - if (!cs) - return; if (test_and_clear_bit(D_CLEARBUSY, &cs->event)) { if (cs->debug) debugl1(cs, "D-Channel Busy cleared"); diff --git a/drivers/isdn/hisax/isac.c b/drivers/isdn/hisax/isac.c index 07b1673..a19354d 100644 --- a/drivers/isdn/hisax/isac.c +++ b/drivers/isdn/hisax/isac.c @@ -86,8 +86,6 @@ isac_bh(struct work_struct *work) container_of(work, struct IsdnCardState, tqueue); struct PStack *stptr; - if (!cs) - return; if (test_and_clear_bit(D_CLEARBUSY, &cs->event)) { if (cs->debug) debugl1(cs, "D-Channel Busy cleared"); diff --git a/drivers/isdn/hisax/w6692.c b/drivers/isdn/hisax/w6692.c index bb1c8dd..c4d862c 100644 --- a/drivers/isdn/hisax/w6692.c +++ b/drivers/isdn/hisax/w6692.c @@ -105,8 +105,6 @@ W6692_bh(struct work_struct *work) container_of(work, struct IsdnCardState, tqueue); struct PStack *stptr; - if (!cs) - return; if (test_and_clear_bit(D_CLEARBUSY, &cs->event)) { if (cs->debug) debugl1(cs, "D-Channel Busy cleared"); -- 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
