From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently the assignment of debug_id dereferences pointer cell before cell has been null checked. Fix this by removing debug_id and use cell->debug_id after cell has been null checked. Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check") Fixes: dca54a7bbb8c ("afs: Add tracing for cell refcount and active user count") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/afs/cell.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/afs/cell.c b/fs/afs/cell.c index 52233fa6195f..4449ff100a3c 100644 --- a/fs/afs/cell.c +++ b/fs/afs/cell.c @@ -589,7 +589,6 @@ struct afs_cell *afs_use_cell(struct afs_cell *cell, enum afs_cell_trace reason) */ void afs_unuse_cell(struct afs_net *net, struct afs_cell *cell, enum afs_cell_trace reason) { - unsigned int debug_id = cell->debug_id; time64_t now, expire_delay; int u, a; @@ -606,7 +605,7 @@ void afs_unuse_cell(struct afs_net *net, struct afs_cell *cell, enum afs_cell_tr u = atomic_read(&cell->ref); a = atomic_dec_return(&cell->active); - trace_afs_cell(debug_id, u, a, reason); + trace_afs_cell(cell->debug_id, u, a, reason); WARN_ON(a == 0); if (a == 1) /* 'cell' may now be garbage collected. */ -- 2.27.0
