Hello Darrick J. Wong, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch 80e4e1268802: "xfs: scrub inodes" from Oct 17, 2017, leads to the following Smatch complaint: fs/xfs/scrub/inode.c:356 xfs_scrub_dinode() error: we previously assumed 'sc->ip' could be null (see line 338) fs/xfs/scrub/inode.c 337 338 if (dip->di_mode == 0 && sc->ip) ^^^^^^ The patch adds a check if sc->ip is NULL 339 xfs_scrub_ino_set_corrupt(sc, ino, bp); 340 341 if (dip->di_projid_hi != 0 && 342 !xfs_sb_version_hasprojid32bit(&mp->m_sb)) 343 xfs_scrub_ino_set_corrupt(sc, ino, bp); 344 break; 345 default: 346 xfs_scrub_ino_set_corrupt(sc, ino, bp); 347 return; 348 } 349 350 /* 351 * di_uid/di_gid -- -1 isn't invalid, but there's no way that 352 * userspace could have created that. 353 */ 354 if (dip->di_uid == cpu_to_be32(-1U) || 355 dip->di_gid == cpu_to_be32(-1U)) 356 xfs_scrub_ino_set_warning(sc, bp); ^^ But later we pass it to xfs_scrub_ino_set_warning() and it gets dereferenced without checking... I don't know the rules about sc->ip well enough to say when it's NULL or not... 357 358 /* di_format */ regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
