Hello Tudor Ambarus, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 453977875364: "mtd: spi-nor: Introduce 'struct spi_nor_controller_ops'" from Sep 24, 2019, leads to the following Smatch complaint: drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spi-nor.c:967 spi_nor_erase_sector() error: we previously assumed 'nor->controller_ops' could be null (see line 945) drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spi-nor.c 944 945 if (nor->controller_ops && nor->controller_ops->erase) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Can this really be NULL? Probably this check can be removed... 946 return nor->controller_ops->erase(nor, addr); 947 948 if (nor->spimem) { 949 struct spi_mem_op op = 950 SPI_MEM_OP(SPI_MEM_OP_CMD(nor->erase_opcode, 1), 951 SPI_MEM_OP_ADDR(nor->addr_width, addr, 1), 952 SPI_MEM_OP_NO_DUMMY, 953 SPI_MEM_OP_NO_DATA); 954 955 return spi_mem_exec_op(nor->spimem, &op); 956 } 957 958 /* 959 * Default implementation, if driver doesn't have a specialized HW 960 * control 961 */ 962 for (i = nor->addr_width - 1; i >= 0; i--) { 963 nor->bouncebuf[i] = addr & 0xff; 964 addr >>= 8; 965 } 966 967 return nor->controller_ops->write_reg(nor, nor->erase_opcode, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The patch adds a new unchecked dereference. 968 nor->bouncebuf, nor->addr_width); 969 } regards, dan carpenter ______________________________________________________ Linux MTD discussion mailing list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mtd/
