ACPI: extlog: fix NULL pointer dereference check
[ Upstream commit 72d9b9747e78979510e9aafdd32eb99c7aa30dd1 ]
The gcc plugin -fanalyzer [1] tries to detect various
patterns of incorrect behaviour. The tool reports:
drivers/acpi/acpi_extlog.c: In function ‘extlog_exit’:
drivers/acpi/acpi_extlog.c:307:12: warning: check of ‘extlog_l1_addr’ for NULL after already dereferencing it [-Wanalyzer-deref-before-check]
|
| 306 | ((struct extlog_l1_head *)extlog_l1_addr)->flags &= ~FLAG_OS_OPTIN;
| | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~
| | |
| | (1) pointer ‘extlog_l1_addr’ is dereferenced here
| 307 | if (extlog_l1_addr)
| | ~
| | |
| | (2) pointer ‘extlog_l1_addr’ is checked for NULL here but it was already dereferenced at (1)
|
Fix the NULL pointer dereference check in extlog_exit().
