[PATCH] nl80211: check return of nla_parse_nested

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx>

Clang static analysis reports this representative problem
nl80211.c:15426:6: warning: Branch condition evaluates
  to a garbage value
  if (!tb[NL80211_SAR_ATTR_TYPE] ||
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

tb is set when nla_parse_nested() is successful.
So check.
