Hello Shuah Khan,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch aebb2b89bff0: "[media] sound/usb: Use Media Controller API to share media resources" from Mar 2, 2016, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
sound/usb/card.c:615 usb_audio_probe() error: we previously assumed 'quirk' could be null (see line 534)
sound/usb/card.c 583 /* 584 * For devices with more than one control interface, we assume the 585 * first contains the audio controls. We might need a more specific 586 * check here in the future. 587 */ 588 if (!chip->ctrl_intf) 589 chip->ctrl_intf = alts; 590 591 chip->txfr_quirk = 0; 592 err = 1; /* continue */ 593 if (quirk && quirk->ifnum != QUIRK_NO_INTERFACE) { ^^^^^ Old code assumes "quirk" can be NULL.
594 /* need some special handlings */ 595 err = snd_usb_create_quirk(chip, intf, &usb_audio_driver, quirk); 596 if (err < 0) 597 goto __error; 598 } 599 600 if (err > 0) { 601 /* create normal USB audio interfaces */ 602 err = snd_usb_create_streams(chip, ifnum); 603 if (err < 0) 604 goto __error; 605 err = snd_usb_create_mixer(chip, ifnum, ignore_ctl_error); 606 if (err < 0) 607 goto __error; 608 } 609 610 /* we are allowed to call snd_card_register() many times */ 611 err = snd_card_register(chip->card); 612 if (err < 0) 613 goto __error; 614 615 if (quirk->media_device) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Patch adds an unchecked dereference.
616 /* don't want to fail when media_snd_device_create() fails */ 617 media_snd_device_create(chip, intf);
