Both cases can (should) never happen. The SNDRV_TIMER_CLASS_CARD is always associated with a timer with a card object. Ditto for SNDRV_TIMER_CLASS_PCM, where a PCM is always tied with a card. So, if any, this should be a WARN_ON(). But I doubt it being any useful. thanks, Takashi > > These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us. > > Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai <[email protected]> > --- > sound/core/timer.c | 8 +++++--- > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/sound/core/timer.c b/sound/core/timer.c > index 5c9fbf3f4340..967d06a3cdec 100644 > --- a/sound/core/timer.c > +++ b/sound/core/timer.c > @@ -1208,11 +1208,13 @@ static void snd_timer_proc_read(struct snd_info_entry > *entry, > snd_iprintf(buffer, "G%i: ", timer->tmr_device); > break; > case SNDRV_TIMER_CLASS_CARD: > - snd_iprintf(buffer, "C%i-%i: ", > - timer->card->number, timer->tmr_device); > + snd_iprintf(buffer, "C%i-%i: ", > + timer->card ? timer->card->number : -1, > + timer->tmr_device); > break; > case SNDRV_TIMER_CLASS_PCM: > - snd_iprintf(buffer, "P%i-%i-%i: ", timer->card->number, > + snd_iprintf(buffer, "P%i-%i-%i: ", > + timer->card ? timer->card->number : -1, > timer->tmr_device, timer->tmr_subdevice); > break; > default: > -- > 2.17.0 > >
