From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> cohd_fin has already been verified not to be NULL, so the argument to BUG_ON cannot be true. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ expression *x; expression e; identifier l; @@ if (x == NULL || ...) { ... when forall return ...; } ... when != goto l; when != x = e when != &x *x == NULL // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/dma/coh901318.c | 2 -- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma/coh901318.c b/drivers/dma/coh901318.c index b5f2ee0..64a9372 100644 --- a/drivers/dma/coh901318.c +++ b/drivers/dma/coh901318.c @@ -613,8 +613,6 @@ static void dma_tasklet(unsigned long data) cohd_fin->pending_irqs--; cohc->completed = cohd_fin->desc.cookie; - BUG_ON(cohc->nbr_active_done && cohd_fin == NULL); - if (cohc->nbr_active_done == 0) return; -- 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
