The patch titled acpi: remove superfluous NULL pointer check from acpi_processor_get_throttling_info() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was acpi-remove-superfluous-null-pointer-check-from-acpi_processor_get_throttling_info.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: acpi: remove superfluous NULL pointer check from acpi_processor_get_throttling_info() From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx> Dan's list contains: drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c +1139 acpi_processor_get_throttling_info(11) warning: variable derefenced before check 'pr' acpi_processor_get_throttling_info() is never called with pr == NULL. [ bart: the potential NULL pointer dereference was finally fixed in (much later than mine) commit 5cfa245 but my patch is still valid ] Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@xxxxxxx> Cc: Eugene Teo <eteo@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) diff -puN drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c~acpi-remove-superfluous-null-pointer-check-from-acpi_processor_get_throttling_info drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c~acpi-remove-superfluous-null-pointer-check-from-acpi_processor_get_throttling_info +++ a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c @@ -1133,9 +1133,6 @@ int acpi_processor_get_throttling_info(s int result = 0; struct acpi_processor_throttling *pthrottling; - if (!pr) - return -EINVAL; - ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "pblk_address[0x%08x] duty_offset[%d] duty_width[%d]\n", pr->throttling.address, _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx are linux-next.patch acpica-fix-acpi_ex_release_mutex-comment.patch scsi-remove-superfluous-null-pointer-check-from-scsi_kill_request.patch staging-rt2860-correct-onstack-wait_queue_head-declaration.patch drivers-block-floppyc-convert-some-include-asm-to-include-linux.patch drivers-block-floppyc-define-space-and-column-neatening.patch drivers-block-floppyc-use-pr_level.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-unnecessary-braces.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-used-once-check_ready-macro.patch drivers-block-floppyc-hoist-assigns-from-ifs-neatening.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-last_out-macro.patch drivers-block-floppyc-comment-neatening-and-remove-naked.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-clearstruct-macro-use-memset.patch drivers-block-floppyc-indent-a-comment.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-in-out-macros-indent-switch-case.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-a-few-spaces-from-function-casts.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-macro-lock_fdc.patch drivers-block-floppyc-add-debug_dcl-macro.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-clearf-setf-and-testf-macros.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-most-uses-of-call-and-ecall-macros.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-copyin-copyout-and-ecall-macros.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-macros-call-wait-and-iwait.patch drivers-block-floppyc-convert-int-1-0-to-bool-true-false.patch drivers-block-floppyc-move-leading-and-to-preceding-line.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-define-device_name-floppy.patch drivers-block-floppyc-convert-int-initialising-to-bool-initialized.patch drivers-block-floppyc-add-function-is_ready_state.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-unnecessary-return-and-braces.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-repeat-macro.patch drivers-block-floppyc-unclutter-redo_fd_request-logic.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-unnecessary-argument-from-reschedule_timeout.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-define-floppy_sanity_check.patch drivers-block-floppyc-dprint-neatening.patch drivers-block-floppyc-use-__func__-where-appropriate.patch drivers-block-floppyc-use-%pf-in-logging-messages.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-some-unnecessary-casting.patch drivers-block-floppyc-convert-raw_cmd_copyin-from-while1-to-label-goto.patch drivers-block-floppyc-add-__func__-to-debugt.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-obfuscating-code2size-macro.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-misleading-used-once-fd_ioctl_allowed-macro.patch drivers-block-floppyc-remove-unnecessary-casting-in-fd_ioctl.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
