From 60e5c1b5ecd99e06d3133a2a20d58d3c2b9968ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:42:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: S3C24XX: arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx: Move dereference after NULL test If the NULL test on buf is needed, then the dereference should be after the NULL test. A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // @match exists@ expression x, E; identifier fld; @@ * x->fld ... when != \(x = E\|&x\) * x == NULL // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks --- arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/dma.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/dma.c b/arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/dma.c index 196b19123653..f046f8c51084 100644 --- a/arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/dma.c +++ b/arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/dma.c @@ -208,14 +208,14 @@ s3c2410_dma_loadbuffer(struct s3c2410_dma_chan *chan, { unsigned long reload; - pr_debug("s3c2410_chan_loadbuffer: loading buff %p (0x%08lx,0x%06x)\n", - buf, (unsigned long)buf->data, buf->size); - if (buf == NULL) { dmawarn("buffer is NULL\n"); return -EINVAL; } + pr_debug("s3c2410_chan_loadbuffer: loading buff %p (0x%08lx,0x%06x)\n", + buf, (unsigned long)buf->data, buf->size); + /* check the state of the channel before we do anything */ if (chan->load_state == S3C2410_DMALOAD_1LOADED) {
