Which is fine because we don't use it. It would really make my life simpler if we could set the unchecked fields to zero. How Smatch works is that we merge all the success paths together so it would either be zero or checked which is easy to deal with. In the current code it's either checked or unchecked which is just unchecked when you merge the success paths together. I can probably figure out other ways to deal with this if that's not a good idea. 704 list_for_each_entry(kctl, &card->controls, list) { 705 if (kctl->id.iface != id->iface) 706 continue; 707 if (kctl->id.device != id->device) 708 continue; 709 if (kctl->id.subdevice != id->subdevice) 710 continue; 711 if (strncmp(kctl->id.name, id->name, sizeof(kctl->id.name))) 712 continue; 713 if (kctl->id.index > id->index) 714 continue; 715 if (kctl->id.index + kctl->count <= id->index) 716 continue; 717 return kctl; 718 } 719 return NULL; 720 } 721 EXPORT_SYMBOL(snd_ctl_find_id); regards, dan carpenter
