Instead of getting the epc_features from pci_epc_get_features() API, use the cached pci_epf_test::epc_features value to avoid the NULL check. Since the NULL check is already performed in pci_epf_test_bind(), having one more check in pci_epf_test_core_init() is redundant and it is not possible to hit the NULL pointer dereference. This also leads to the following smatch warning: drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c:784 pci_epf_test_core_init() error: we previously assumed 'epc_features' could be null (see line 747) Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/024b5826-7180-4076-ae08-57d2584cca3f@moroto.mountain/ Signed-off-by: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c | 9 ++++----- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c b/drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c index 977fb79c1567..0d28f413cb07 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c +++ b/drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c @@ -743,11 +743,10 @@ static int pci_epf_test_core_init(struct pci_epf *epf) bool msi_capable = true; int ret; - epc_features = pci_epc_get_features(epc, epf->func_no, epf->vfunc_no); - if (epc_features) { - msix_capable = epc_features->msix_capable; - msi_capable = epc_features->msi_capable; - } + epc_features = epf_test->epc_features; + + msix_capable = epc_features->msix_capable; + msi_capable = epc_features->msi_capable; if (epf->vfunc_no <= 1) { ret = pci_epc_write_header(epc, epf->func_no, epf->vfunc_no, header); --- base-commit: 6e47dcb2ca223211c43c37497836cd9666c70674 change-id: 20240417-pci-epf-test-fix-2209ae22be80 Best regards, -- Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@xxxxxxxxxx>
