From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> If the NULL test is necessary, the initialization involving a dereference of the tested value should be moved after the NULL test. Moved the initialization of rport as well, to improve readability. The sematic patch that fixes the first problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ type T; expression E; identifier i,fld; statement S; @@ - T i = E->fld; + T i; ... when != E when != i if (E == NULL) S + i = E->fld; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- v2: moved the initialization of rport. drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_io.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_io.c b/drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_io.c index 73f231c..2e8cf79 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_io.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_io.c @@ -685,8 +685,8 @@ int bnx2fc_init_mp_req(struct bnx2fc_cmd *io_req) static int bnx2fc_initiate_tmf(struct scsi_cmnd *sc_cmd, u8 tm_flags) { struct fc_lport *lport; - struct fc_rport *rport = starget_to_rport(scsi_target(sc_cmd->device)); - struct fc_rport_libfc_priv *rp = rport->dd_data; + struct fc_rport *rport; + struct fc_rport_libfc_priv *rp; struct fcoe_port *port; struct bnx2fc_interface *interface; struct bnx2fc_rport *tgt; @@ -704,6 +704,7 @@ static int bnx2fc_initiate_tmf(struct scsi_cmnd *sc_cmd, u8 tm_flags) unsigned long start = jiffies; lport = shost_priv(host); + rport = starget_to_rport(scsi_target(sc_cmd->device)); port = lport_priv(lport); interface = port->priv; @@ -712,6 +713,7 @@ static int bnx2fc_initiate_tmf(struct scsi_cmnd *sc_cmd, u8 tm_flags) rc = FAILED; goto tmf_err; } + rp = rport->dd_data; rc = fc_block_scsi_eh(sc_cmd); if (rc) -- 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
