Hello! This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20191031 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: 2a5b7d626ed2 ("scsi: lpfc: Limit tracking of tgt queue depth in fast path") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1487391: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL) /drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c: 614 in lpfc_get_scsi_buf_s3() 608 spin_unlock(&phba->scsi_buf_list_put_lock); 609 } 610 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&phba->scsi_buf_list_get_lock, iflag); 611 612 if (lpfc_ndlp_check_qdepth(phba, ndlp)) { 613 atomic_inc(&ndlp->cmd_pending); vvv CID 1487391: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL) vvv Dereferencing null pointer "lpfc_cmd". 614 lpfc_cmd->flags |= LPFC_SBUF_BUMP_QDEPTH; 615 } 616 return lpfc_cmd; 617 } 618 /** 619 * lpfc_get_scsi_buf_s4 - Get a scsi buffer from io_buf_list of the HBA 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 these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first): Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1487391 ("Null pointer dereferences") Fixes: 2a5b7d626ed2 ("scsi: lpfc: Limit tracking of tgt queue depth in fast path") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
