This code generates a Smatch warning: kernel/irq/irqdomain.c:1511 irq_domain_push_irq() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'root_irq_data' (see line 1508) irq_get_irq_data() does sometimes return NULL pointers so it does look like this code could Oops. I've moved the check for NULL earlier to fix this bug.
