Hello Quinn Tran, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 5c25d451163c: "scsi: qla2xxx: Fix NULL pointer access for fcport structure" from Dec 28, 2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c:130 qla2x00_async_iocb_timeout() error: we previously assumed 'fcport' could be null (see line 107) drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c 106 107 if (fcport) { ^^^^^^^ The patch adds a check for NULL. 108 ql_dbg(ql_dbg_disc, fcport->vha, 0x2071, 109 "Async-%s timeout - hdl=%x portid=%06x %8phC.\n", 110 sp->name, sp->handle, fcport->d_id.b24, fcport->port_name); 111 112 fcport->flags &= ~(FCF_ASYNC_SENT | FCF_ASYNC_ACTIVE); 113 } else { 114 pr_info("Async-%s timeout - hdl=%x.\n", 115 sp->name, sp->handle); 116 } 117 118 switch (sp->type) { 119 case SRB_LOGIN_CMD: 120 /* Retry as needed. */ 121 lio->u.logio.data[0] = MBS_COMMAND_ERROR; 122 lio->u.logio.data[1] = lio->u.logio.flags & SRB_LOGIN_RETRIED ? 123 QLA_LOGIO_LOGIN_RETRIED : 0; 124 memset(&ea, 0, sizeof(ea)); 125 ea.event = FCME_PLOGI_DONE; 126 ea.fcport = sp->fcport; 127 ea.data[0] = lio->u.logio.data[0]; 128 ea.data[1] = lio->u.logio.data[1]; 129 ea.sp = sp; 130 qla24xx_handle_plogi_done_event(fcport->vha, &ea); ^^^^^^^^^^^ But there is an unchecked NULL dereference here. 131 break; 132 case SRB_LOGOUT_CMD: regards, dan carpenter
