ia_css_rmgr_acq_vbuf() uses a local on stack "struct ia_css_rmgr_vbuf_handle v" variable. When this path using this is hit, either the rmgr_pop_handle() call will make *handle point to another vbuf-handle, or because v.count == 0, ia_css_rmgr_refcount_retain_vbuf() will alloc a new vbuf-handle and make *handle point to it. So on leaving the function *handle will never point to the on stack vbuf-handle, but gcc does not know this and emits the following: drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/runtime/rmgr/src/rmgr_vbuf.c: In function ‘ia_css_rmgr_acq_vbuf’: drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/runtime/rmgr/src/rmgr_vbuf.c:276:33: warning: storing the address of local variable ‘h’ in ‘*handle’ [-Wdangling-pointer=] 276 | *handle = &h; | ~~~~~~~~^~~~ drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/runtime/rmgr/src/rmgr_vbuf.c:257:40: note: ‘h’ declared here 257 | struct ia_css_rmgr_vbuf_handle h; | ^ drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/runtime/rmgr/src/rmgr_vbuf.c:257:40: note: ‘handle’ declared here Rework the code using a new_handle helper to suppress this false-postive compiler warning.
