Heh.

No, I didn't steal your patch.  :P  I am the author of the Smatch static
analysis tool and mostly fix things found by Smatch.  I don't use other
static analysis tools except to do a final QC of my patches.

It's super common for people to send duplicate fixes when it's based on
static analysis.  Most of the static analysis people hang out on
kernel-janitors so we don't send duplicate patches.  For a while people
were getting annoyed by all the duplicates but now they accept it as
their punishment for introducing a bug in the first place.

Anyway, the rule for kernel development is that normally the first
person's patch goes in, so we will take your patch.

dan carpenter
