Hello Anand Kumar Santhanam,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch cb269c26ed02: "[SCSI] pm80xx: Print SAS address of IO
failed device." from Sep 17, 2013, leads to the following Smatch
complaint:
drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c:2343 mpi_sata_completion()
error: we previously assumed 't->dev' could be null (see line 2319)
drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c
2318 if (t) {
2319 if (t->dev && (t->dev->lldd_dev))
^^^^^
Exisiting check.
2320 pm8001_dev = t->dev->lldd_dev;
2321 } else {
2322 PM8001_FAIL_DBG(pm8001_ha,
2323 pm8001_printk("task null\n"));
2324 return;
2325 }
2326
2327 if ((pm8001_dev && !(pm8001_dev->id & NCQ_READ_LOG_FLAG))
2328 && unlikely(!t || !t->lldd_task || !t->dev)) {
^^^^^^^
Existing check.
2329 PM8001_FAIL_DBG(pm8001_ha,
2330 pm8001_printk("task or dev null\n"));
2331 return;
2332 }
2333
2334 ts = &t->task_status;
2335 if (!ts) {
2336 PM8001_FAIL_DBG(pm8001_ha,
2337 pm8001_printk("ts null\n"));
2338 return;
2339 }
2340 /* Print sas address of IO failed device */
2341 if ((status != IO_SUCCESS) && (status != IO_OVERFLOW) &&
2342 (status != IO_UNDERFLOW)) {
2343 if (!((t->dev->parent) &&
^^^^^^^^
Patch introduces new unchecked dereference.
2344 (DEV_IS_EXPANDER(t->dev->parent->dev_type)))) {
2345 for (i = 0 , j = 4; j <= 7 && i <= 3; i++ , j++)
regards,
dan carpenter
