This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20191025 as part of the linux-next weekly scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by recent commits: 95ededc17e4e ("thermal: qcom: tsens-v1: Add support for MSM8956 and MSM8976") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1487355: Memory - illegal accesses (USE_AFTER_FREE) /drivers/thermal/qcom/tsens-v1.c: 245 in calibrate_8976() 239 int mode = 0, tmp = 0; 240 u32 *qfprom_cdata; 241 242 qfprom_cdata = (u32 *)qfprom_read(priv->dev, "calib"); 243 if (IS_ERR(qfprom_cdata)) { 244 kfree(qfprom_cdata); vvv CID 1487355: Memory - illegal accesses (USE_AFTER_FREE) vvv Passing freed pointer "qfprom_cdata" as an argument to "PTR_ERR". 245 return PTR_ERR(qfprom_cdata); 246 } 247 248 mode = (qfprom_cdata[4] & MSM8976_CAL_SEL_MASK); 249 dev_dbg(priv->dev, "calibration mode is %d\n", mode); 250 If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include: Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1487355 ("Memory - illegal accesses") Fixes: 95ededc17e4e ("thermal: qcom: tsens-v1: Add support for MSM8956 and MSM8976") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
