Hello 黃清隆, The patch 17628f3a062b: "[SCSI] arcmsr: Support Areca new SATA Raid Adapter ARC1214/1224/1264/1284" from Aug 26, 2013, leads to the following Smatch warning: "drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c:3580 arcmsr_hbaD_get_config() warn: signedness bug returning '(-12)'" drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c 3576 dma_coherent = dma_alloc_coherent(&pdev->dev, acb->uncache_size, 3577 &dma_coherent_handle, GFP_KERNEL); 3578 if (!dma_coherent) { 3579 pr_notice("DMA allocation failed...\n"); 3580 return -ENOMEM; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This should be returning false. 3581 } Line 3577 has messed up indenting. Also this patch says it adds support for new hardware but almost 900 lines out of this 3605 line patch are white space changes. Do the unrelated white space changes in a separate patch. This patch also re-introduces a bug which I fixed in the mainline kernel a year ago. drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c 4525 writel(0xD, &pmuC->write_sequence); 4526 } while ((((temp = readl(&pmuC->host_diagnostic)) | ^ This should be a '&' not a '|'. Please fix this again back to the way it was. 4527 ARCMSR_ARC1880_DiagWrite_ENABLE) == 0) && 4528 (count < 5)); The indenting here is messed up as well. This is a very low quality patch. I think you are not using git internally in your company and that is why you are messing up so badly. Please learn to use it. Keep track of the fixes which go into the mainline kernel. Separate the white space cleanups from the new features. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
