Hello Sage Weil,

This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.

The patch f59919a07e03: "ceph: move encode_fh to new API" from Apr 5, 
2012, leads to the following Smatch complaint:

fs/ceph/export.c:85 ceph_encode_fh()
         error: we previously assumed 'dentry' could be null (see line 67)

fs/ceph/export.c
    66          /* if we found an alias, generate a connectable fh */
    67          if (*max_len >= connected_handle_length && dentry) {
                                                           ^^^^^^
New check.

    68                  dout("encode_fh %p connectable\n", dentry);
    69                  spin_lock(&dentry->d_lock);
    70                  parent = dentry->d_parent;
    71                  cfh->ino = ceph_ino(inode);
    72                  cfh->parent_ino = ceph_ino(parent->d_inode);
    73                  cfh->parent_name_hash = 
ceph_dentry_hash(parent->d_inode,
    74                                                           dentry);
    75                  *max_len = connected_handle_length;
    76                  type = 2;
    77                  spin_unlock(&dentry->d_lock);
    78          } else if (*max_len >= handle_length) {
    79                  if (parent_inode) {
    80                          /* nfsd wants connectable */
    81                          *max_len = connected_handle_length;
    82                          type = 255;
    83                  } else {
    84                          dout("encode_fh %p\n", dentry);
    85                          fh->ino = ceph_ino(dentry->d_inode);
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Old dereference.

    86                          *max_len = handle_length;
    87                          type = 1;

These emails really are mostly automated...  So if it's a false positive
then I blame the script.  Hope it's not too much spam.
