Hello Kevin Wang,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 4e01847c38f7: "drm/amdgpu: optimize amdgpu device attribute
code" from Apr 27, 2020, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/amdgpu_pm.c:2182 amdgpu_device_attr_create()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'attr' (see line 2175)
./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/amdgpu_pm.c
2174 struct device_attribute *dev_attr = &attr->dev_attr;
2175 const char *name = dev_attr->attr.name;
^^^^^^^^^^
Dereferenced.
2176 enum amdgpu_device_attr_states attr_states =
ATTR_STATE_SUPPORTED;
2177 struct amdgpu_device_attr_entry *attr_entry;
2178
2179 int (*attr_update)(struct amdgpu_device *adev, struct
amdgpu_device_attr *attr,
2180 uint32_t mask, enum
amdgpu_device_attr_states *states) = default_attr_update;
2181
2182 BUG_ON(!attr);
Checked to late. Also doesn't checkpatch warn about this? Calling
BUG_ON() here is not correct.
2183
2184 attr_update = attr->attr_update ? attr->attr_update :
default_attr_update;
regards,
dan carpenter
