Subject: re: Thermal: Update binding logic based on platform data
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:27:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120925202747.GA19537@elgon.mountain> (raw)

Hello Durgadoss R,

This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.

The patch 9b70dfa68ae8: "Thermal: Update binding logic based on 
platform data" from Sep 18, 2012, leads to the following Smatch 
complaint:

drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c:292 bind_tz()
	 error: we previously assumed 'tzp' could be null (see line 283)

drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c
   282		/* If there is no platform data, try to use ops->bind */
   283		if (!tzp && tz->ops->bind) {
                    ^^^^
New check.

   284			list_for_each_entry(pos, &thermal_cdev_list, node) {
   285				ret = tz->ops->bind(tz, pos);
   286				if (ret)
   287					print_bind_err_msg(tz, pos, ret);
   288			}
   289			goto exit;
   290		}
   291	
   292		if (!tzp->tbp)
                     ^^^^^^^^
New dereference.

   293			goto exit;
   294	

There are also some locking bugs which need to be fixed as well.

drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c:268 bind_cdev() warn: inconsistent returns mutex:&thermal_list_lock: locked (256) unlocked (268)
drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c:396 update_temperature() warn: inconsistent returns mutex:&tz->lock: locked (390) unlocked (396)

regards,
dan carpenter
