Hello Matthew R. Ochs, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 3065267a80c8: "scsi: cxlflash: Add hardware queues attribute" from Apr 12, 2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint: drivers/scsi/cxlflash/main.c:722 term_afu() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'cfg->afu' (see line 719) drivers/scsi/cxlflash/main.c 718 */ 719 for (k = cfg->afu->num_hwqs - 1; k >= 0; k--) ^^^^^^^^ Patch introduces a new dereference. 720 term_intr(cfg, UNMAP_THREE, k); 721 722 if (cfg->afu) ^^^^^^^^ But the existing code assumed it could be NULL. Presumably it can't? 723 stop_afu(cfg); 724 regards, dan carpenter
