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/net/wireless/ipw2x00/ipw2200.c | 3 --- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/ipw2200.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/ipw2200.c index d726b3c..2dc1cdb 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/ipw2200.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/ipw2200.c @@ -7250,9 +7250,6 @@ static void ipw_bg_qos_activate(struct work_struct *work) struct ipw_priv *priv = container_of(work, struct ipw_priv, qos_activate); - if (priv == NULL) - return; - mutex_lock(&priv->mutex); if (priv->status & STATUS_ASSOCIATED) -- 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
