Hello Selvin Xavier, The patch 1ac5a4047975: "RDMA/bnxt_re: Add bnxt_re RoCE driver" from Feb 10, 2017, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/qplib_fp.c:452 bnxt_qplib_enable_nq() error: we previously assumed 'nq->bar_reg_iomem' could be null (see line 438) drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/qplib_fp.c 430 nq->bar_reg = NQ_CONS_PCI_BAR_REGION; 431 nq->bar_reg_off = bar_reg_offset; 432 nq_base = pci_resource_start(pdev, nq->bar_reg); 433 if (!nq_base) { 434 rc = -ENOMEM; 435 goto fail; 436 } 437 nq->bar_reg_iomem = ioremap_nocache(nq_base + nq->bar_reg_off, 4); 438 if (!nq->bar_reg_iomem) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NULL here. 439 rc = -ENOMEM; 440 goto fail; 441 } 442 443 rc = bnxt_qplib_nq_start_irq(nq, nq_idx, msix_vector, true); 444 if (rc) { 445 dev_err(&nq->pdev->dev, 446 "QPLIB: Failed to request irq for nq-idx %d", nq_idx); 447 goto fail; 448 } 449 450 return 0; 451 fail: 452 bnxt_qplib_disable_nq(nq); ^^ This function checks for NULL but only after it's already been dereferenced. Goto fail is always buggy. 453 return rc; regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
