[PATCH 6.13 166/623] wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: remove unneeded NULL pointer checks

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

 



6.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 79f4b6934dbd7dd6741726ba004a15e25380b8cc ]

Smatch reported that we dereference the data pointer to calculate the
expected length before we check it's not NULL. While this is true (and
hence needs to be fixed), this will never happen because the data
pointer comes from struct iwl_rx_packet object which has the following
layout:

struct iwl_rx_packet {
        __le32 len_n_flags;
        struct iwl_cmd_header hdr;
        u8 data[];
} __packed;

So, if the pointer to iwl_rx_packet is valid, data will be valid as
well.

Remove the NULL pointer check on 'data' to avoid confusing smatch.
Also remove the check from similar functions in the same flow that were
cargo cult copy-pasted.
