Hello Benjamin Herrenschmidt,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 424de9c6e3f8: "powerpc/mm/radix: Avoid flushing the PWC on
every flush_tlb_range" from Jul 19, 2017, leads to the following
Smatch complaint:
arch/powerpc/mm/tlb-radix.c:368 radix__flush_tlb_collapsed_pmd()
error: we previously assumed 'mm' could be null (see line 362)
arch/powerpc/mm/tlb-radix.c
361
362 pid = mm ? mm->context.id : 0;
^^
Check for NULL.
363 if (unlikely(pid == MMU_NO_CONTEXT))
364 goto no_context;
365
366 /* 4k page size, just blow the world */
367 if (PAGE_SIZE == 0x1000) {
368 radix__flush_all_mm(mm);
^^
Unchecked dereference.
369 return;
370 }
regards,
dan carpenter
