[ Hi, I've made some changes to Smatch so I'm sending bug reports for some old bugs. Hope nobody minds and all. ] Hello James Smart, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 19ca760979e4: "[SCSI] lpfc 8.3.19: Added support for ELS RRQ command" from Nov 20, 2010, leads to the following Smatch complaint: drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c:15999 lpfc_drain_txq() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'piocbq' (see line 15993) drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c 15992 piocbq = lpfc_sli_ringtx_get(phba, pring); 15993 sglq = __lpfc_sli_get_sglq(phba, piocbq); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ New call to __lpfc_sli_get_sglq() dereferences "piocbq". 15994 if (!sglq) { 15995 __lpfc_sli_ringtx_put(phba, pring, piocbq); 15996 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&phba->hbalock, iflags); 15997 break; 15998 } else { 15999 if (!piocbq) { ^^^^^^^ Old check. 16000 /* The txq_cnt out of sync.
