Hello Heikki Krogerus, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 2111cad655e3: "net: rfkill: gpio: convert to descriptor-based GPIO interface" from Nov 26, 2013, leads to the following Smatch complaint: net/rfkill/rfkill-gpio.c:144 rfkill_gpio_probe() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'rfkill->name' (see line 144) net/rfkill/rfkill-gpio.c 111 len = strlen(rfkill->name); ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dereference. 112 rfkill->reset_name = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, len + 7, GFP_KERNEL); 113 if (!rfkill->reset_name) 114 return -ENOMEM; 115 116 rfkill->shutdown_name = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, len + 10, GFP_KERNEL); 117 if (!rfkill->shutdown_name) 118 return -ENOMEM; 119 120 snprintf(rfkill->reset_name, len + 6 , "%s_reset", rfkill->name); 121 snprintf(rfkill->shutdown_name, len + 9, "%s_shutdown", rfkill->name); 122 123 rfkill->clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, clk_name); 124 125 gpio = devm_gpiod_get_index(&pdev->dev, rfkill->reset_name, 0); 126 if (!IS_ERR(gpio)) { 127 ret = gpiod_direction_output(gpio, 0); 128 if (ret) 129 return ret; 130 rfkill->reset_gpio = gpio; 131 } 132 133 gpio = devm_gpiod_get_index(&pdev->dev, rfkill->shutdown_name, 1); 134 if (!IS_ERR(gpio)) { 135 ret = gpiod_direction_output(gpio, 0); 136 if (ret) 137 return ret; 138 rfkill->shutdown_gpio = gpio; 139 } 140 141 /* Make sure at-least one of the GPIO is defined and that 142 * a name is specified for this instance 143 */ 144 if ((!rfkill->reset_gpio && !rfkill->shutdown_gpio) || !rfkill->name) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^ The check was originally before the dereference, but the patch moves it after the dereference. 145 dev_err(&pdev->dev, "invalid platform data\n"); 146 return -EINVAL; regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
