From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> dev_name always dereferences its argument, so it should not be called if the argument is NULL. The function indeed later tests the argument for being NULL. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression dev,E; @@ *dev_name(dev) ... when != dev = E ( *dev == NULL | *dev != NULL ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mn10300/mm/dma-alloc.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/mn10300/mm/dma-alloc.c b/arch/mn10300/mm/dma-alloc.c index 4e34880..159acb0 100644 --- a/arch/mn10300/mm/dma-alloc.c +++ b/arch/mn10300/mm/dma-alloc.c @@ -25,7 +25,8 @@ void *dma_alloc_coherent(struct device *dev, size_t size, unsigned long addr; void *ret; - printk("dma_alloc_coherent(%s,%zu,,%x)\n", dev_name(dev), size, gfp); + pr_debug("dma_alloc_coherent(%s,%zu,%x)\n", + dev ? dev_name(dev) : "?", size, gfp); if (0xbe000000 - pci_sram_allocated >= size) { size = (size + 255) & ~255; -- 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
