Hello John Crispin,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 1ced169cc1c2: "mac80211: allow setting spatial reuse
parameters from bss_conf" from Jul 30, 2019, leads to the following
Smatch complaint:
net/mac80211/he.c:79 ieee80211_he_spr_ie_to_bss_conf()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'he_spr_ie_elem' (see line 75)
net/mac80211/he.c
69 void
70 ieee80211_he_spr_ie_to_bss_conf(struct ieee80211_vif *vif,
71 const struct ieee80211_he_spr
*he_spr_ie_elem)
72 {
73 struct ieee80211_he_obss_pd *he_obss_pd =
74 &vif->bss_conf.he_obss_pd;
75 const u8 *data = he_spr_ie_elem->optional;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dereference.
76
77 memset(he_obss_pd, 0, sizeof(*he_obss_pd));
78
79 if (!he_spr_ie_elem)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Checked too late.
80 return;
