Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20230111 as part of the linux-next 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 commits: Mon Jan 9 16:05:21 2023 +0100 291e9da91403 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Always initialize fixed_rate in snd_usb_find_implicit_fb_sync_format()") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1530547: Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL) sound/usb/pcm.c:166 in snd_usb_pcm_has_fixed_rate() 160 bool snd_usb_pcm_has_fixed_rate(struct snd_usb_substream *subs) 161 { 162 const struct audioformat *fp; 163 struct snd_usb_audio *chip = subs->stream->chip; 164 int rate = -1; 165 vvv CID 1530547: Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL) vvv Null-checking "subs" suggests that it may be null, but it has already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check. 166 if (!subs) 167 return false; 168 if (!(chip->quirk_flags & QUIRK_FLAG_FIXED_RATE)) 169 return false; 170 list_for_each_entry(fp, &subs->fmt_list, list) { 171 if (fp->rates & SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS) 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: 1530547 ("Null pointer dereferences") Fixes: 291e9da91403 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Always initialize fixed_rate in snd_usb_find_implicit_fb_sync_format()") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
