Subject: [PATCH net-next RFC v2] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Correct check for empty list
Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2024 09:52:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240427-mv88e6xx-list_empty-v2-1-b7ce47c77bc7@kernel.org> (raw)

Since commit a3c53be55c95 ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Support multiple MDIO
busses") mv88e6xxx_default_mdio_bus() has checked that the
return value of list_first_entry() is non-NULL.

This appears to be intended to guard against the list chip->mdios being
empty.  However, it is not the correct check as the implementation of
list_first_entry is not designed to return NULL for empty lists.

Instead, use list_first_entry() which does return NULL if the list is
empty.

Flagged by Smatch.
Compile tested only.

Changes in v2:
- Use list_first_entry_or_null() instead of open-coding
  a condition on list_empty().
  Suggested by Dan Carpenter.
- Update commit message.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240419-mv88e6xx-list_empty-v1-1-64fd6d1059a8@kernel.org
---
As discussed in v1, this is not being considered a fix
as it has been like this for a long time without any
reported problems.
