Hello George Cherian,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch c694b233295b: "crypto: cavium - Add the Virtual Function
driver for CPT" from Feb 7, 2017, leads to the following Smatch
complaint:
drivers/crypto/cavium/cpt/cptvf_main.c:899 cptvf_remove()
error: we previously assumed 'cptvf' could be null (see line 895)
drivers/crypto/cavium/cpt/cptvf_main.c
894
895 if (!cptvf)
^^^^^
Check for NULL.
896 dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Invalid CPT-VF device\n");
897
898 /* Convey DOWN to PF */
899 if (cptvf_send_vf_down(cptvf)) {
^^^^^
Oops inside function.
900 dev_err(&pdev->dev, "PF not responding to DOWN msg");
901 } else {
regards,
dan carpenter
