The return value of transport_kmap_data_sg() is assigned to the variable buf: buf = transport_kmap_data_sg(cmd); And then it is checked: if (!buf) { This indicates that buf can be NULL. However, it is dereferenced in the following statements: if (!(buf[3] & 0x80)) buf[3] |= 0x80; if (!(buf[2] & 0x80)) buf[2] |= 0x80; To fix these possible null-pointer dereferences, dereference buf and call transport_kunmap_data_sg() only when buf is not NULL.
