Hello Russell King (Oracle),
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch f97493657c63: "net: phylink: add suspend/resume support"
from Sep 7, 2021, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/net/phy/phylink.c:1336 phylink_suspend()
error: we previously assumed 'pl->netdev' could be null (see line 1325)
drivers/net/phy/phylink.c
1324
1325 if (mac_wol && (!pl->netdev || pl->netdev->wol_enabled)) {
^^^^^^^^^^
This checks for NULL
1326 /* Wake-on-Lan enabled, MAC handling */
1327 mutex_lock(&pl->state_mutex);
1328
1329 /* Stop the resolver bringing the link up */
1330 __set_bit(PHYLINK_DISABLE_MAC_WOL, &pl->phylink_disable_state);
1331
1332 /* Disable the carrier, to prevent transmit timeouts,
1333 * but one would hope all packets have been sent. This
1334 * also means phylink_resolve() will do nothing.
1335 */
1336 netif_carrier_off(pl->netdev);
^^^^^^^^^^
But there is an unchecked dereference inside the netif_carrier_off()
function.
1337
1338 /* We do not call mac_link_down() here as we want the
regards,
dan carpenter
