From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The pointer cf is being null checked earlier in the code, however the update of the rx_bytes statistics is dereferencing cf without null checking cf. Fix this by moving the statement into the following code block that has a null cf check. Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check") Fixes: 8537257874e9 ("can: etas_es58x: add core support for ETAS ES58X CAN USB interfaces") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c b/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c index 7222b3b6ca46..5198e1d6b6ad 100644 --- a/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c +++ b/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c @@ -856,9 +856,10 @@ int es58x_rx_err_msg(struct net_device *netdev, enum es58x_err error, * consistency. */ netdev->stats.rx_packets++; - netdev->stats.rx_bytes += cf->can_dlc; if (cf) { + netdev->stats.rx_bytes += cf->can_dlc; + if (cf->data[1]) cf->can_id |= CAN_ERR_CRTL; if (cf->data[2] || cf->data[3]) { -- 2.30.2
