Hello James Smart,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch a0f2d3ef374f: "scsi: lpfc: NVME Initiator: Merge into FC
discovery" from Feb 12, 2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_ct.c:982 lpfc_cmpl_ct_cmd_gft_id()
error: we previously assumed 'ndlp' could be null (see line 966)
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_ct.c
965 ndlp = lpfc_findnode_did(vport, did);
966 if (ndlp) {
^^^^
Check.
967 /* The bitmask value for FCP and NVME FCP types is
968 * the same because they are 32 bits distant from
969 * each other in word0 and word0.

971 if (fc4_data_0 & LPFC_FC4_TYPE_BITMASK)
972 ndlp->nlp_fc4_type |= NLP_FC4_FCP;
973 if (fc4_data_1 & LPFC_FC4_TYPE_BITMASK)
