No, I didn't steal your patch. :P I am the author of the Smatch static analysis tool and mostly fix things found by Smatch. I don't use other static analysis tools except to do a final QC of my patches. It's super common for people to send duplicate fixes when it's based on static analysis. Most of the static analysis people hang out on kernel-janitors so we don't send duplicate patches. For a while people were getting annoyed by all the duplicates but now they accept it as their punishment for introducing a bug in the first place. Anyway, the rule for kernel development is that normally the first person's patch goes in, so we will take your patch. regards, dan carpenter
