In ath6kl_cfg80211_add_key(), params is checked for non-NULL but this pointer has been deferenced many times before this check. This gives the following smatch warning. add_key() can never carry NULL as params, remove this bogus check. ath6kl_cfg80211_add_key(86) warn: variable dereferenced before check 'params' Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c index a91f521..313787e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c @@ -1059,7 +1059,7 @@ static int ath6kl_cfg80211_add_key(struct wiphy *wiphy, struct net_device *ndev, if (vif->nw_type == AP_NETWORK && !pairwise && (key_type == TKIP_CRYPT || key_type == AES_CRYPT || - key_type == WAPI_CRYPT) && params) { + key_type == WAPI_CRYPT)) { ar->ap_mode_bkey.valid = true; ar->ap_mode_bkey.key_index = key_index; ar->ap_mode_bkey.key_type = key_type; -- 1.7.0.4 -- 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
